Interestingly, the armor change altered the relative performance of the specs. Was:



Hybrid: 100%
Madness: 97.3%
Lightning: 95.9%
Suffusion: 95.7%
Conduction: 86.7%

Now:



Hybrid: 100%
Suffusion: 96.2%
Madness: 94.7%
Lightning: 94.3%
Conduction: 87.3%

Madness and Lightning are less than 0.5% apart, and the FL-double-dip-exploiting specs picked up quite a bit. Projected DPS with double-dip out of the picture:



A drop of about 70 DPS for Hybrid and Suffusion, a whopping 95 DPS hit for Conduction. Hybrid/Lightning/Madness are in a very tight grouping on stationary fights. Throwing in some movement (HelterSkelter):



Lightning shows very poorly. It appears Hybrid and full Madness will be the specs to play even when/if the double-dip exploit is fixed.

Edit: I'm sorry the colors are horrible in the Simulationcraft charts right now. We need someone with better color sense than me to pick:

• A color for each Advanced Class: 8 or 16 depending on if you make the Empire/Repub distinction.
• A color for each damage type (4): kinetic, energy, elemental, internal.
• A color for each attack type (4): melee, ranged, force, tech.
• Ideally, a color for each combination of attack and damage type (16) that is a mix of the individual colors of the attack and damage type. It would be AMAZING to look at e.g. a damage-by-ability pie chart and be able to tell at-a-glance which abilities are force, and which are affected by armor, and which do internal damage, etc.
