I have already looked at the code and see where some changes could be made. That is the easy part. The hard part is figuring out how to make said changes be correct. Without having some old parses, the best way I can think of is to reactivate my live account and start doing some parses at lower levels, doing comparisons with different gear, player stats (i.e. different agi), mobs at different levels, focusing on a few different classic zones. Comparing the effects of avoidance and mitigation. Its only a matter of breaking it down to the right equations.

If all goes smoothly, bet I could have it all figured out and corrected, say by .... Christmas. Ha.

Another idea would be to do parses on the mac server, that is about as close to classic as I could think of really. I think a buddy at work has an old mac laptop. Maybe I will see what I can figure out playing on there if that server is still up.

Ding ding ding! You win the prize! And it also goes a bit deeper as well: it has to be balanced vs passive combat defensive like dodge and parry as well as take into consideration AC and not only how it affects min/max hits but also how it affects straight misses, something other than min or max hit also gets affected by AC.
