But it's absolutely great that you've provided some solid data backing up my claims with respect to THM nukes. Your figures on PIE are pretty damning, I'm wondering it extends even into Bio/Dia/Poison, as SE really pushed the influence of PIE on DoT spells.
No empirical data to prove it, but I've felt like DoTs definitely benefit from higher PIE
Also... now, most experiments are purely for entertainment purposes, since the formula's are changing.
For example.... Before the November patch VIT had a much bigger impact on damage taken....
And logging in after the patch, we all saw a serious decrease in our HP
So with each patch, their is a chance any previous experiments will be made irrelevant...

@OP I do commend your efforts and your grasp of the scientific method, especially in regards to having as few variables as possible....
Very nice work....
