    That's actually not an offsetting factor at all if you try to gauge your own strength. It only creates a percentual discrepancy towards other players, and only if they are using multi-hit WS.

    Another factor that's more bothersome is the distance. You only receive log information from players within 30' of your character. So if there's two mobs being fought a bit apart, you miss out on that already.

    Regain is another thing, since it builds your "damage" even while you're technically not engaged. Also good damage dealers slowing themselves down, by being target of the enemy, getting TP/food stolen from colibris, or getting stunned/terrorized, and other fun things like that. Fast-hitting jobs are more bothered by spikes as well, are, on average, longer exposed to paralyze and stun, etc. There's plenty of inaccuries, whether gameplay, technology or parser related. The best estimate you can get is by theory. Fortunately our current understanding of game-math has progressed fairly far.

    I'd love to see the proof of this. You have different Magic Accuracy based on the related skill, but there have been no demonstrated differences between spells of the same type.

    Stun is the possible exception, but they could have just given it a lot of resist states.

    Man, no old school FFXI players? I am truly disappointed. The person who can accurately identify that quote will win my heart forever.

    It can't be Buront-san, can it? That guy was (is?) mostly a JP phenomenon to begin with . . .

    Camate could you ask them to consider finally making Chocobo Skill a recognized and non-hidden skill? Anyways, hoping for accuracy and crit, STP, tp per hit, and haste.

    Also, any chance devs will ever correct gear's true haste value to that of it's displayed value? If not I hope when you get to ToAU and or Relic/AF+1 augments you add some new haste set options. (--;

    Have you ever seen what a Galka looks like in Zelus Tiara+DRG Body+Ace's Hose+Dusk+1 Hands+DRG feet? The fins for the boots are on the legs!

    Hmm... it somehow resembles a Jeuno quest where you had to find/gather cards for one of the fortune tellers. Hmm... Chululu?
