Fact: "Advice" doesn't actually have to be factual. Advice is, more often than not, opinion based as you give advice based off your personal experiences.
No one on this thread is saying that their opinion is fact. They are giving advice based off their personal experience, and their personal experience (mine included) is that you hit-cap.
It actually baffles me that there are a number of people who take Sims as gospel, and it's actually really f***ing retarded sometimes. You, as a person and a player, are not a computer. You will NEVER play as well as a computer. Sims are inaccurate for this exact reason.
A computer will be able to react to a miss and make up their DPS accordingly, and with delta parses and minimized RNG levels of course it's OK. However, you will never run a boss 10,000 times to minimize that level of RNG where being under hit cap matters.
In small sample sizes RNG can f***ing wreck parses. Funnily enough, being under hit cap is one of the factors here. Fire's already dictated largely by RNG already, there's no need to make it worse.
