Yes, your numbers do ignore a lot of things. They also can't account for a lot of things. That's because the numbers are based on god knows how many assumptions that simply don't pan out in real-world examples. It is the best that's available, but the parsers tell a very different story. Maybe the parsers are wrong, maybe they all have well geared WARs and poorly geared PLDs. I don't know what the reason is, but every parse I've ever seen with 1 WAR and 1 PLD has had the WAR a good 20% more damage in front of the PLD.

When the maths says one thing, and the tests say something else, I start thinking maybe there's something the maths hasn't accounted for.
