The context is what I was mostly laughing at. Uncontrollably laughing.
Without_Pause & Nihilii providing strong, experienced endorsements for EM on Scrappers to the original poster, then the short quote and comment "Nope, there's 6 better at ST for Scrappers" (which is a semi-crazy assertion outside of a very very narrow slice of the game on a uber min/max build in one very specific situation)
I won't argue that EM is the absolute best any more than I'd argue Regen is the best.
"The best" is very individual.
I will argue that EM is not 7th for single target damage across all levels, content and build budgets. (I'm fairly certain we agree on this)
Context:
@Ston will always get props from me for gathering data and doing testing. They are usually pretty clear that the numbers apply to specific testing and conditions.
In energy melee's case it likely could use a slightly improved rotation. The same could potentially be the case for other sets. But the results are what Ston got with the caveats provided.
Comparing sets that leverage multiple FF procs and ridiculous numbers of -res procs with sets that lack them was likely not to be taken as effectiveness across the game.
