Subject: RE: L46 weapon effectiveness.


Hi all! A bardic friend of mine mentioned to me that
there was a discussion going on about EBW vs Ykesha
with actual log files involved! :) I only read over 4
or 5 digests here so please forgive me if I bring up
something already mentioned. John is there any way
you'd be able to make the log data itself available,
posted or emailed to me directly? Allow me to
elaborate on why I'm looking for this information...

If we're going to evaluate two weapons (ykesha 8/24
with proc and EBW 7/21 no proc) i'd like to get the
most accurate representation of damage over time the
weapons deal out. There appears to be a damage bonus
for the primary hand of (level-25)/3, or 8 points at
level 50. This 8 points is applied more often the
faster the weapon swings and hence favors the faster
weapon given the same dmg/delay ratio. Looking at
logged data we see a modal spike at the "magic number"
(MN) which is 2*dmg + dmg bonus. This leads me to use
MN/delay as the comparison at this time. However,
this isn't really a good approximation of the damage
curve. SO what I'm getting at is I'd like the log
data in its raw form to see if I can figure anything
out usefull from playing around with it.

Ok ok ok I get bored at work! :) Thanks!

-David
