    you don't have enough parses ? (Note i've asked this question since my 1st post and no answer). I'm not sure i understood correctly the problem there...
    The only thing that can remove the uncertainity of what q is, is testing a range of pdif and study the variation of q between that, because increasing the the data doesn't seem to increase the precision on it very much.

    Y=START+INT(RANGE*Generator)
    What's that ? This is a uniform variable on a range of integer numbers ? There is no spike. (assuming generator is uniform).

    ... and BaseDMG is what i implied in my previous post, further confirmed with Motenten formula for U=1-(b-a)/BaseDMG -> the higher BaseDMG is, the higher U is, ie freq spike less "potent" compared to other values.

    At 1st glance, yea... until you plot and discover it actually has an artifact : a spike which position within the freq chart is static at Y=START. Here is an example (doesnot match parses tough, it's just to picture the thing)

    And now, from your last post, does proving that spike intensity decreases linearly from cRatio=1 to 1.5 and to 0.5 lead to a linear average dmg formula in the range 0.5<=cRatio<=1.5 ? Hoping the demonstration will end up to the regression formula i posted earlier, at least would be proven mathematically
