They are flawed in that they
1) dont take into account individual class strengths/weaknesses/skills/etc
2) dont attempt to create a coherent gear setup that emphasies a combination of the stats in question
3) limited parser data on generally one mob, or a small set of mobs
These tests were designed, least all the tests ive seen, to find caps. That is all. For example, ive yet to see a crit rate/crit att power build as compared to a pure att power build on say..a DRG. This is what I mean by incomplete testing. I am not disputing numbers with you, I am disputing that what you are arguing against has never been tested. Low delay with different builds has never been tested in comparison to other builds. You are taking a test out of context and trying to force it to apply to everything. You can only apply a test to what it was designed for.
Math and science do not operate the way you are trying to operate. If this was a scientific community, your reasoning woudl be labeled highly flawed. And it is. I'll repeat for like the 20th time, the dev team is aware of certain things that you are not. Instead of accepting this, and looking for where your knowledge could be lacking, you cling to now-dated tests that don't even test the thing you are arguing against.
As far as the validity of Garuda weapons go, you dont really have a case until its tested, and tested properly.
