It's not the same. You're getting less minimum hits and more higher end hits, exactly as I already said.

I get the highest damage rolls at 8 damage, 21 damage, and 25 damage. The exact same places as your link. As I keep trying to tell you, the defense and AC of the mob are what change how the numbers are distributed. I don't have the exact mob this guy was fighting, so the numbers aren't going to perfectly align when I just throw a random mob in to test with.

The percentages are not the same. You should have more low hits.

They weren't fighting anything with high AC.

This is fighting a harder mob using my DPS calculator. Level 46 Warrior with a 9/24 weapon:

008: 118 | 009: 021 | 010: 026 | 011: 037 | 012: 042 | 013: 029 | 014: 044 | 015: 031 | 016: 044 | 017: 044 |
| 018: 042 | 019: 044 | 020: 054 | 021: 062 | 022: 035 | 023: 037 | 024: 040 | 025: 133 | 026: 026 | 027: 032 |
| 028: 016 | 029: 013 | 030: 015 | 031: 011 | 032: 014 | 033: 009 | 034: 010 | 035: 007 |

Very interesting... a while back I did a bunch of parses against Bloodmaw with my 51 ranger. I used three mainhands: Fellspine; Revultant Whip; Jagged Blade of Mourning, all with Infestation as offhand. I also parsed with the Woodsman's Staff. In all five of those parses, there's no spike at the lower level.

However when I looked at one of DSM's parses against the FM named giants, I did see spikes at the min value.

Not sure what to make of that yet.

It is because you are fighting bloodmaw, who is like level 5. This is a 46 Warrior with a 9/24 weapon fighting a level 5:

| 013: 006 | 014: 016 | 015: 023 | 016: 025 | 017: 036 | 018: 047 | 019: 042 | 020: 047 | 021: 081 | 022: 063 |
| 023: 042 | 024: 055 | 025: 708 | 026: 093 | 027: 087 | 028: 087 | 029: 081 | 030: 083 | 031: 077 | 032: 063 |
| 033: 076 | 034: 076 | 035: 065 |

That's what I thought at first, but here's Woody and Swarmcaller v Relik, who was a very tough fight.

You are still getting more min damage hits than bloodmaw. You can see they are one of the higher values. I don't remember what level your ranger is, but if he's like 52 you have a good level gap. Also remember that some mobs have lower/higher AC than the average. That guy may just have lower AC than your normal level 40. Relik is using an unarmored dwarf graphic, so they may have lowered his AC to reflect that.

Dear diary,

Today I posted on elf sim boards til the wee hours of the morning.

I am always right.

Love,
Me

They're so far off topic right now. DSM is pushing his DPS calculator in a thread about weapon hate. It's completely off topic and entirely irrelevant. Plus, it doesn't even work right.

Don't help him fix his derpiest calculator. It's not like he's going to give credit to testers and contributors.
