Disclaimer:This is by no means directed to Spicy and I still hold the stance of not debating [him/her/them] because of obvious reasons so I'm posting this as a record same as any other player doing any sort of tests.
We often resort to Spreadsheets/Sims to determine best possible scenarios yet we keep forgetting that after all people play this game and not automated actions virtually, and since they always bring up the BS of (Skillchain as a factor) whenever they feel cornered...you must then make a human induced test in game to factor that.
You are more than welcome to share your own findings.
All I'm showing here is pure data from the tests using [Parse]
[AM3/Hasso was always up before any fight]
Clear Times were taken from [Time Stamps]
Im more than happy to provide you with all Exported Reports/Screen Shots in DM since I still cant post links here on this forum [need 10 posts >.>]

Conclusions
-Trish needs Fighter's Roll to push ahead of Rhon as expected from [Sim/Spreadsheets/in Game]
-Rhon Jumps will always be higher in damage than Trish.
-You will get hit for less while equipping Rhon.
-I expect DA5 Set to act the same way but with less margin than QA in lead.
-[White Damage] from Rhon Leads by [16-18]% and [SC AVG] From Trish leads by [18-21]% and there you can see why they are very close to one another and excel accordingly based on Buffs used. These Two factors offset one another in the grander scheme of things.
