I do not retract my calculation for an 18 second fight

I am going to hold you to this then.

Your 18 second fight calculation is here: https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...&postcount=659

The expected DPS was 26.29 damage / 18 seconds = 1.46 DPS, and the calculations look correct when taking into account the minor rounding you were doing.

When looking at the same problem using a Normal Distribution:

At 1 PPM you have: 1 PPM x (60 seconds / 18 seconds) = 0.333 PPM when taking into account the fight does not last a full minute.

Scourge DoT Damage table over 18 seconds: [40, 64, 88, 112] = 304 damage / 4 damage numbers = 76 average damage x 0.333 PPM = 25.308 adjusted average damage / 18 seconds = 1.406 DPS

If we use your percent chances to proc the weapon a second time [0.097, 0.097, 0.097, 0.011] = 0.302 / 4 = 0.0755 x 40 DD Damage = 3 damage. If we add the 3 damage to the 76 damage we got above, we now get:

79 average damage x 0.333 PPM = 26.31 damage / 18 seconds = 1.46 DPS

Thank you for agreeing with me that the Normal Distribution method is good enough to approximate average DPS. My guess is you realized this too, which is why you refuse to post your math.
