The Real Problem with Parsers

[JackFross]

This is a discussion for another thread, tbh, but out of curiosity, how many data points are you getting where you find those min/max values? You only seem to record those two rather than the full range, so I'm just curious how many times you're using these longer cooldown skills like Sneak Attack.

And the fact that it's vaguely NOT perfectly linear doesn't change the fact that, for all intents and purposes beyond *precise* calculation, it's linear "enough" to use ratios between potencies as direct correspondences to ratios between damage outputs. You're splitting hairs to prove my discussion of optimization wrong when none of your data does anything to disrupt the things I discussed in any notable way.


I don't deny that it's wonky, but the variances in the linear trend of the potencies don't matter *enough* to make the practice of using potencies as approximations of damage ratios ineffective/incorrect to any reasonable extent.

(so optimal rotations can still be reasoned out through mathematics performed on values provided in-game, without the use of a parsing program to record your actual damage output)
