I’m really confused what you’re trying to accomplish here.

First:

why in the hell would you parse this at 103 worm ac? My shaman is pretty shit geared for a level 60 (magelo below) and has 187 worn ac. 16 of that is shield ac. Why would you bother with a parse that is so ludicrously below the ac expectations of a shaman in this level range? I am genuinely confused.

Second:

You cannot assume that just because one mob is level 50 and has a hit range of whatever to whatever and another mob is level 48 and has a lower hit range (min vs max) means that they are directly comparable. Velious is the final expansion where mob ac is notoriously higher and individual mob attack values are sometimes higher. If you are counting on wiki for p99 giving you an actual value of a mobs actual ac …. lol. I bet it is driven only by some algorithm from the players side based on an estimate due to its level. It might be right. It might be really wrong). Disregarding separate zones/expansions we all know that even within classic eq there are mobs that just simply do not follow the rules of whatever expansion they were a part of. I find this confusing because if you want to use PoM rats as an example—- why not just parse the rats themselves? Why try to extrapolate information from a separate mob from a separate expansion?

Circling back to “First” to support my concerns addressed in point 2:

-The level 50 giant did 11.54dps to a shaman with 103 worn ac.
-The rats in question did 10.44dps to your shaman while you were leveling.

Was your shaman naked other than a full set of banded (91ac) and a pair of 6ac/65hp rings when this data was collected? Cause that’s 103 worn ac. I think it is much more safe to assume that your worn ac was considerably higher.

Maybe go parse a rat in PoM witb 103 worn ac?

Actually I’ll go you better and run my shamans ass to FM and parse that giant at 187 worn ac with a 70% slow


… back in a bit I have the day off so I’m gonna go collect data
