Quote:It's hardly that bad. Given the relative frequency at which each ability is used (and this doesn't need to be perfect, just a reasonable estimate), a spreadsheet can solve the problem numerically in a couple seconds.

Problem is, the stats themselves can affect that relative frequency (and it would need to be exact if we are trying to make an exact equation). For example, high crit for a Sorcerer 13/28 build means higher incidence of Lightning Barrage, meaning more Force Lightning usage relative to other abilities (which then slightly decreases force efficiency, reducing the number of Chain Lightnings, which then increases Force Lightnings even more).
