That lets me see what specific rotation maps to what DPS (...I know procs mess up a purely deterministic comparison, but it's pretty good.)

Yeah, a database with logs would be awesome. I loved worldoflogs back in the old wow times.

I think they're linked somewhere in this thread (but I'm too lazy to link them.) You might start with those. That's why I keep encouraging all the 1500dps-on-an-OperationsDummy high rollers to post logs, so we can learn from them.

I searched the whole thread but coudn't find any log from Tibbel

Shadow Fist has a damage range of 302-453

No Regret (same tier SniRi) has a damage range of 408-499

(Both of these ranges apply to the same 1.5 sec Rifle Shot, so they can be directly compared.)

Looking at the damage formulae listed on this site, that 46-106 point discrepancy in damage may result in a fairly significant nerf to DPS in the long run.

I'll do a couple of tests. Thanks for your help!
