Details =/= Warcraft Logs
Why is that? The data is considerably different.

Warcraftlogs starts logging at the second somebody enters combat. Details start when YOU are going in.

Mage's ignite calculating is different

In relation to what? Wcl breaks out ignite damage across all mages, details does not.
I’m a warrior so that’s not an issue. I’m just seeing a lot discrepancy in AQ particularly.
Boss damage is the only thing that matters for WCL, so on Bug Trio when you sapper/AoE all the little adds you are increasing your dps on details but not increasing your parse.
Yeah it's basically this. Which makes little to no sense as killing adds is often part of killing bosses. Buuuut it is what it is
Yeah, don’t love not counting add dps on bosses where adds are part of the fight. I guess it is the easiest way to keep people from cheesing parses by pulling trash into the boss fight?
there's more aoe abuse for parses than the opposite. I remember on retail some guilds would let one guy free aoe adds for parses
But parses have always been a pretty bad way to tell performance in classic anyways most of the time getting parses means ignoring mechanics
