Uploading some spreadsheets for three datasets: DSM level 5 vs level 5, my toons vs Shiel, DSM 60 shaman vs level 50. I find this is a more convenient format for looking at the data. Not a lot of conclusions yet from me. Min/max ratio seems noiser than damage/hit. Shield ac definitely has an effect.

I think there's some more nuance in my results against Shiel than we've noticed so far. Looking at average damage per hit I think there's some hints of differences by class. Gonna do some more parses. Running one right now at 198 worn ac plus 61 spell ac for 259 total, empty shield slot. Gonna run another with exact same gear but moving lodi shield from back slot to shield slot. My hypothesis is that "shield ac" exists and is slot dependent, so should be less damage/hit in shield slot than back slot.
After that gonna run a series at like 160, 180, 200 with and without shield ac. Then gonna repeat with cleric and ranger (eventually) to look for any hint of difference between classes. Most of the parses from the last thread were just a couple hundred, too noisy to do much than eyeball the graph and see the same pattern.
