I believe he was fairly clear on this.

In before ohh woe Duik trolly troll troll. That above there is just factual facting at its factual facting best

He was quite clear. I agree.

You can beg me for my parses all you want. You can go get your own damn parses for all I care. Whether I post my parses or not ... whether you shit on them or not ... whether you care to believe them or whatever the heck you are inclined to believe ...none of it changes in game *reality*. Those with the tools and the experience know the truth.

He admitted to being unwilling and unable to change his mind no matter what. At least he is being honest as to why he is spamming this thread for 20+ pages. He is just acting like a child who is putting their fingers in their ears and yelling "I am not listening".

It would be great if you could share the mobs that were being parsed, and rough time estimates for the parse before you get into the details. Then I can start collecting data. I am not sure why Troxx can't do this himself.

I was looking at Rath Mtn hill giants, but turns out I can't kill them with 1hs/dw on my ranger, only 2h. I think I'll try logging some fights in Cazic Thule pyramid - it'll be more than half green, but it'll at least be a good dry run.

Hmm.
Interesting mr bcbrown. Extra Polating from your data.

NVM.

Please note. I have zero idea what 1handers vs 2 hander were used but being bcbrown im assuming he has a clue and used like vs like tiered weapons.

Sorry if this is not so.

I love the eloquence with which posters here can explain the scientific method and reasoning. Having it used in the context of something I love makes me really happy and I hope improves my scientific literacy. Definitely Brown’s discussions of stats in the past have improved my understanding of statistics. You guys need to start a MSc program in EQ Analyses! I think I got a third in EQ back in the day at TheSteelWarrior Polytechnic College!

Bcb do you mind if I borrow your data to make some frequency charts like a histogram or something?

I was asking about Troxx's parses he sent you. What mobs did he parse against, and what was the duration of the parses?

That makes me inordinately happy.

For any data or analyses I publish here you are welcome to use for any further projects as you see fit.

I use the set of tools available on the linux command line for initial analysis. This is also available on macs. Windows you can install this, but you're on your own for the installation instructions. All these tools I use operate on a line-by-line basis. 'grep' filters out any line that does *not* match the pattern provided. I use 'awk' to filter out only the column of data I want; '{print $11}' means print only the 11th whitespace-separated column of data. 'sort' sorts all the data, and -n uses a numeric sort so 01 comes before 10. uniq -c takes sorted data and collapses multiple values by counting them. So if you have five hits in a row with the value of 11 damage (after being sorted), uniq -c outputs 5 11 as <count> <value>. `wc -l` is word-count; I use it to determine the total count after various filters.

You're welcome to use the data I've already provided as-is. The process I used to generate that data follows:
grep "You crush" mentrax| awk '{print $11}' | sort -n | wc -l ## count of total hits
grep "You crush" mentrax| awk '{print $11}' | sort -n | uniq -c | wc -l ## count of unique values of hits
grep "You crush" mentrax| awk '{print $11}' | sort -n | uniq -c ## the data I provided earlier; counts and values for all hits

The data analysis I provided earlier came from parses DSM generated and in any histogram he deserves credit before I do.

I appreciate that!

It would be great if Bcbrown could tell us what mobs were parsed in the logs Troxx gave him, and what the durations of the parses were. Then other people like myself can gather data while Bcbrown does his own work on the parse.

I shall be analysing parses of my own 45 ranger against xp mobs.

So Troxx didn't give you any parses then? If he did, why are Troxx's parses a secret? For people who love the scientific method, this purposeful obfuscstation of data is strange to say the least. Especially if Troxx is highly confident in his data. There is nothing wrong with saying what mobs he parsed and how long he parsed so other people can match Troxx's standard.

Troxx has made it known he sees your proccessing of results as less than empiric.

Maybe he said please dont divulge to DSM.
I reiterate, I dont know troxx' brain (or anyone else) but that would be a good guess.

He does not respect your examination.

Right or wrong. It is not up to you. Sorry.

Feel free to complain.

I dont know troxx nor do we communicate in dms. I can however read.

He has made it clear. The rest is up to bcbrown.

I wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire.
