However if this is what you wish to use for your testing, then go ahead.
Well its not a rule but its only natural that people try to make their parses as long as as possible, since it evens out RNG and is therefore more accurate. I was just pointing out that the parses that other people used where over a longer period of time, which makes their numbers smaller. For burst phases i have seen parses go up to 400 dps.
