I’m a but confused, cos you keep saying we have to show 20 str significantly affects dps. It is shown it improves max hit and di multiplier, and been shown to be ~5% improvement (in a situation which is admittedly unlikely to be generalisable).
Are you saying you want the improvement to be shown to be statistically significant, as in p<0.005? Imo this is unnecessary as we know the formula for two ways even just 20 str improves dps (as above) it is simply a case of having sufficient sample size to make the effect measurable.
If you’re asking to show that 5% improvement is meaningful … well I’d use a 38 delay weapon over a 40 delay +20 int weapon while levelling given the choice.
Anyway, for me the 20 str is more about the carry capacity and how I feel it reduces frequency/improves productivity of vendoring and allows you to carry more gear.
I think those are both play-style factors which are a matter of personal preference or value judgement derived enjoyment rather than mathable concepts.
