But now you admit Normal Distributions exist. Uniform Distributions exist too. Please show us the averages of how much damage the DoT will do using a Normal Distribution, and a Uniform Distribution.

I have no idea why you're just averaging the timing and assuming that's correct when there's a nonlinear impact from the different samples in the distribution.
You can't use a normal distribution for this calculation. It makes no sense. It's not possible. It's not applicable.

You haven't explained why this is impossible. You simply claim this is the case.

You have an equal chance to proc per swing, which we both agree upon. This is basically the equivalent of a dice roll.

In the case of 10.4%, you could easily round that to 10 and say this is rolling a dice with 10 sides.

You can in fact do a normal distribution on coin flips and dice rolls. Do you disagree?
