Your comparative skills are lacking. You got a 3dps difference and I did have 4 but ….
Flawed though my testing was ….
-I got a difference of 4 dps using a plane of hate 1hs where the max dps was 29 va 25 with my weak ass half elf str. That is a 16% difference.
-You had a 3 dps difference using a ToV 2 hander. Dps of 70.25 vs 67.3 dps on a level 5 mob. That’s a 4.38% difference.
That’s a whole world of nowhere close. It’s not a 3 dps vs 4dps difference. It’s 4.38% dps more vs 16% more.
If I had been putting out 67.3dps with my ToV weapon … my flawed study would have proportionally been putting out 78.06 dps (that’s 16% more than 67.3). So not a 3 dps increase … closer to 11dps.
Again, I don’t trust my tests. I need to dedicate more time and do them properly. It can’t possibly be as high as a 16% difference.
Even if your parses were 100% accurate, 4.3% is nothing to sneeze at. This is a game of inches and most players would give a leg for being 4.3% better at whatever. It certainly makes a strong enough case for killing faster and not needing 20 more intelligence on a low str iksar sk.

Your ideas about percentages are just wrong. The percentage difference in DPS on 1H weapons is bigger simply because the DPS numbers are lower. You don't need to read further into it than that. You have no evidence to suggest you will also get a 16% increase with a 2H weapon.
So far your data supports mine. If your data is flawed, bring more and we can discuss it.
I am not sure why you keep needing to make these strange explanations when your own data speaks for itself.
You also keep forgetting that a lower level player will be getting less than 3-4 DPS from 20 STR. I am not sure why you think this number will remain the same, or get higher, when the player is lower level, has less skills, has a worse weapon/haste item, etc.
