I can't keep track how or what made the argument factor in SSR himes. However, even if you do think bear's setup is a little OP, as long as its not a crazy whale setup (like 5 MLB dragon eyes or something), what we're seeing is quite simply a glimpse of what could be if you play optimally without the need for luck. I don't think the concern was ever for what we wanted average players to accomplish...

@Bear, there's 2 things we can try:
1. Mind taking Slash's calculator and stick in the numbers, or alternatively post your weapon grids and necessary info here so we can debug the issue directly?

If the numbers don't add up...

2. If possible, can you test the burst damage values without buff (or exceed and stuff)? The less variables we have on our hands, the easier it is to solve the problem. After we've validated that the calculator is still accurate without these factors, we can slowly break down the inaccuracies on a buff by buff basis.
