Ah, don't underestimate my ability to work the numbers in spite of that. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] But I shouldn't expect anyone to invest that much time on faith. With my old research as a basis, and some careful planning, I'm confident that I can find a close approximation at worst. Here are some examples of my unpublished research, all tests designed, data gathered, and reports done by myself. Some of the reports are on a different board that you couldn't see without a login, but FL Scaling is a good example of what they were like.

Flame Leviathan Scaling

Judgment of Light Nerf Investigative Data

Rotface Ooze Research

Valithria Variable Relationship Studies

If you've ever seen the Leeroy Jenkins video, where they ask the guy what their chances were? Not so far fetched, I actually did those for progression bosses for my old guild with data mined from WMO, and made an interactive excel spreadsheet for the average user. Take a look.

To me, it's like solving a puzzle. If things have changed drastically, even if it requires some off the wall comparative statistics to my old stuff, if there's a formula, which there always is, I can figure it out. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
