I don't get how it works. A certain class has more DPS than another, but that other class has more DPM than the last. HOW DOES THAT WORK? DPS = Second = x60 should still be the most! D: DPM = If you ain't DPS, How are you best per minute?

Uhm, DPS relates to ONE attack ONLY (i'm guessing) So power > speed DPM is damage over time (minutes) so gradually Speed > Power

But if DPS is better per second, it means it's fast riight? If it's fast = Better DPM

well the only example I can think of atm is aran as their combo increases (within the minute), they get a pretty good attack and critical boost so their damage isn't really a dps sort of thing?

For calculation's purposes, there is no difference between the two.
