I should clarify that's the percentage effected by damage.

3. I posted them backward if you noticed.
I fixed it now. I'm not sure what this exactly equates to. I was kind of hoping someone here would have a clue.

2. Things do cool so well once the geometry goes to hell...

4. I'm hoping this means there's 70% of the rods which are fine in one and 30% in the other
But I'm not for sure that's what this means. :shrug:
