I'm trying to understand how, if what you're saying is true, I can consistently hit around 550 dps, even when checked against multiple sources. That includes manually calculating the dps by adding up the damage from the battle log.
Well, if you're consistently hitting 550 then that's your DPS. I approximated a DPS range between 400 and 500, 50 above that isn't too far off. I wasn't optimizing and I only tried it twice (once by myself and a second time showing a friend). But if what you are saying that with and without Song of Torment you're getting 550, then it can be that whoever is updating the parsing plug-in didn't care enough to accurately hit BLU. But I know for a fact SoT increased my damage (when I was testing without the primal spells I tried with it and without it to see if bristling SoT vs skipping made a difference while doing mainly Off-Guard and glower spam (Peculiar Light when UP of course).)
