Yes, but the formulas aren't always what we think they are. For example, for years on this server 2-hand damage bonuses did not differentiate between weapons above and below 40 delay. That is why RFS and T-staff both parsed on par with Ton Po's. Someone back then could have waved around equations on the forum, but still been dead wrong about what actually happened in game. My point is that unless a dev shows up here and pastes some code for us, I'm going to trust a parse over some math some random guy posted on the forums, especially when it goes against what has routinely been held as true (that 1-hand is king sub L20).
