It's great to include logs and essential to include the exact input to the calculator, which you did, but it would be much more convenient to list for each parse the measured DPS and the calculated DPS.

I was curious if I could replicate your results and when I used the listed inputs to the most recent version of the calculator I got these results:

Sznake vs. Eldak Howlingbear - Epic Fist + Stave of Shielding
552 seconds, 30.28 DPS
Calculator: 30.20, 30.95, 31.77, 31.68, 31.15
Conclusion: High by about 0.5 DPS

Sznake vs. Mentrax Mountainbone - Imbued Fighters Staff
553 seconds, 27.5 DPS (without fistweaving)
Calculator: 39.86, 40.14, 37.99, 37.71, 42.70
Conclusion: I must have made a mistake here? This is way off.

Bazgek vs. Corudoth - Ancient Fire Etched Flamberge
531 seconds, 70.25 DPS
Calculator: 78.65, 75.46, 73.99, 76.53, 76.26
Conclusion: Calculator is high by 5-6 DPS

Bazgek vs. Corudoth - Frostwrath
603 seconds, 64.9 DPS
Calculator: 70.50, 72.67, 73.96, 71.73, 74.39
Conclusion: Calculator is high by 5-7 DPS

Shamwowi vs. Mentrax Mountainbone - Blight, Hammer of the Scourge
3.23 DoT DPS + 2.9 White Damage DPS = 6.13 DPS
Calculator: 7.06, 6.70, 6.66, 6.37, 6.51
Conclusion: Calculator is high by about 0.5 DPS

Shamwowi vs. Corudoth - Spear of Fate
355 seconds, 32.7 DPS
Calculator: 30.8, 30.24, 31.10, 31.74, 32.17
Conclusion: Calculator is low by about 1 DPS

Does this look correct to you?
I am glad to see you are trying to learn my calculator, and I knew these exact questions were coming.

For the most obvious parse that was off, which is Monk IFS, I can tell you what you did wrong.

1. You didn't turn off fistweaving. To do so you need to set the offhand weapon damage to 0. Monks will automatically fistweave otherewise with 2h weapons. This isn't particularly user friendly I agree, but that is how it's done. When fistweaving is actually turned off DPS is around 28.

2. For the Corudoth Monk parse IFS will look high has well with fistweaving. This is because if you just use 9/16 in the offhand, it will fistweave way more than I did in the video. In theory you can get two fistweaves per IFS attack with a 16 delay weapon, but I didn't attempt that. I did one fistweave per IFS swing animation. To get the DPS number more accurate, you need to set the offhand to 9/40 to reflect that I did fistweaving in time with the 2h swings.

The Corudoth Parses are also a bit high because I used the autoscaling feature for a level 5. This was for simplicity, to avoid uncessary errors for new users. Corudoth has higher AC than normal.

Corudoth's stats are closer to this:

var mobStats=CreateStatStruct();mobStats.level=5,mobSt ats.class="Warrior",mobStats.scaleDefensiveValuesB asedOnMobLevel=false,mobStats.agility=150,mobStats .defenseSkill=25,mobStats.totalAC=80,mobStats.ripo steSkill=0,mobStats.parrySkill=0,mobStats.dodgeSki ll=0,mobStats.blockSkill=0;
