Ok there were so many issues with trial 1 I'm going to put it in the scrap bin and we will try again. The results were significant but there were issues. Even though the parses support my hypothesis and understanding of this game, I cannot rightfully stand on them confidently and proclaim it is accurate. Regardless, I will post findings.
I had to move along because other players needed the camp more rightfully for quest related reasons.
Methods: Single pull static spawn undead. Lull neighbor. Pull. Fight down to 20% or just below. Root. Camp. Log back in. Heal, rinse repeat.
# of fights 7 with each setup
Str variables: 140 vs 160
Limitations of fights:
-High green xp mob, not blue (this is a problem)
-Due to the above, fights were not as long as they should have been
-High variability from fight to fight. Ironically my highest dps was at 140 str but the averages still are relevant
-Very limited hits logged due to aforementioned low level of mobs and not enough time in camp to get a more appropriate # of hits
Strengths of this test/parse:
-Same mob 100% of the time
-Within xp range (albeit barely)
160 strength:
Av DPS: 29
Av Hit: 62
Max hit: 120
140 strength:
Av dps: 25
Av Hit: 58
Max hit: 116
Difference in DPS: 16%
Difference in av Hit: 6.8% (not consistent with findings in av dps - that's RNG luck one way or another)
Difference in max hit: 3.5%
Weapon used:

Goal was to prolong the fights as long as possible.
Buffs: Self only
-Strength difference accomplished by removing gear, none of which had + attack effects
-Yaulp was never used
*bonus fries: there was a significant parse-able difference in damage taken in removing pieces of gear
TLDR:
Parse, though it showed what i wanted it to show ... it has fatal flaws. I will try again and will brainstorm mobs that are dark blue exclusively moving forward.
TALLY HO!
What could make this easier?
-finding a a much higher level mob
-having a dedicated healer so individual fights could be longer
-having a corner to back into so repositioning is a non issue
