The problem is, I can't get my Heavy Shot damage that low. I can't. The lowest I'm seeing is about 205 damage. That's a 30-damage error before factoring in any critical damage. I would normally agree that it's better than conjecture, but not when it's so far off. The auto-attack numbers are within the 1-2 point variation he mentions, but the WS damage is way off.

While my hat's off to Valk and all the theorycrafting work he does, we should all admit that his page is out of date. . .

The WS variation is due to your passive 20% action damage bonus. Taking the Valk numbers gives you an average of 211 Heavy Shot damage with the ARC trait.

did that take into account the dps of BL reset when dots proc?

Okay, manually setting the WS Potency to 180 does give me a better fit. That being said. . .

. . .no, it doesn't. I'm also not sure what's going on with his buffs, either. Including Internal Release adds about a 7% crit rate, so I assume he's prorating that, but then Straight Shot should have 100% uptime (or close), yet he seems to be prorating that at the IR rate. Then, RS, B4B, and HE don't seem to get prorated at all. . .

Basically, while I'd love to use this tool, it seems too inaccurate at the moment to be worthwhile.
