The issue is that he touts biased and flawed data, while wanting equally failed data responses that he can dismiss, that and his terrible reading and logic presentations.
Yes I made a post in the other thread too. While I am willing to have rational discourse, with whomever, still I am unwilling to address logic gaps and continually reply to ad hominem and the like
Look, the data will always be flawed. But flawed data - (I think imprecise is more accurate word to use actually, rather than flawed) may still allow the tester a certain degree of certainty that they're at least in the right ballpark. This data will never be precise, but it can at least allow you to make certain general claims - like SWF does more single target damage than THF, which you have stated as obvious. And, it IS obvious based on the feat descriptions alone. But, video demonstrations also allow you to witness hit range, attack responsiveness, fluidity of movements, cleave rates and how they interact with attack chain, etc. These are all qualitative variables that are also important in comparing the combat styles.
The fact is this: Every time I run into a group of mobs while SWF - I don't sit there thinking that this would be more effective with a two - hander. I have a preference for THF, but I'm not allowing that to bias my results, honest. What incentive do I have to play THF now with the release of SWF, besides flavor? SWF attacks faster, does higher front number damage, cleaves are efficient enough to dispose of mass mobs, what more do I need?
