Pivot tables, Pivot tables as far as the eye can see (Destiny)

I wonder what kind of weapon balance test tools Bungie has. I think it'd be fun to code up a little tool that would take a range & a "skill" (accuracy?) parameter (maybe some others) and iterate through all their weapons & various perks & output the average TTK for each weapon at that range. You could even geek out with graphs of the data & various TTK's at various ranges...

And some people laugh when I say spreadsheets are my favorite game design tool.

(you could do this in code tool, as most modern DB's have decent statistics tools, but Excel is pretty much designed for this work).
