Hmm, maybe you are unusually lucky for drops? People have rumoured that the IGN or some other thing connected to your character can influence scrolling chance?
probably more tests of base rate are needed.
though previous derivations of the base rate were made assuming the stated bonus was correct, so they may be less accurate.
as for demon cry, I read the description and it appears from it that the effect lasts for 12 or 15 sec after you cast it. i don't think you even have to hit the monster with it? but not sure o this last one.
so you do not have to kill only with the skill and can use others. it works with the exp portion, as I found when training
dc is a decent skill for training and hits a very large area, but you may need to recharge using the ctrl skill
another bizarre possibliity:
this may be a psychological trick, but I have often felt that multiple kills have produced less satisfying drops than when I killed monsters with a single monster attack. such as if I kill 8 mobs at once, it produces less than 8 times what I would have gotten if I had killed 1. but logically I cannot think of a reason why and it probably is a psychological perception bias thingy
beast tamer i think also might have a item boost skills.
also note the minimum sample size needed for each test (post 46)
eg: to successfully differentiate between a 1.8 and 1,92 you need at least 46 runs, if you get an average between 1.8 and 1.92. 46 runs will mean that the variance of the group mean is reduced sufficiently
or if you get an average above 1.92 or below 1.8 you don't need that many runs
