Yes. Ill reiterate it all so we can both be done. Max theoretical dps (as in sims) changes at the rate of 1 ilvl = 1% dps difference. This is stated by the game director. This had a hundred threads about it when announced. This was and is proven true from sims. Idc if u don't believe me or want to cry about sources.
You claim you don't care about sims, you care abt real data. Real data has mechanics so u won't reach max theoretical dps. But if someone 20 ilvls lower, is doing 50% less dps than someone, dealing with the same or more mechanics, its a skill issue. Like I claimed before.
I'm done talking about this unless you have an actual point besides "SoUrCeS!?!?"
