So here's what I think of each characters DPS in order from highest to lowest. (This only includes Adventurers. CK and Arans can shoo XD) *Corsair* (Battleship) *Bowmaster* *Night Lord* (With SE) *Hero* *Buccaneer* (Super Transform) *Corsair* (without Battleship) *Marksman* *Dark Knight* (Berserk) *Buccaneer* (without Super Transform) *Shadower* *Night Lord (Without SE) *Paladin* *F/P Archmage* *I/L Archmage* *Bishop* *Beginners* ~*Arans*~ ~*Cygnus Knights*~ Anyone disagree?

Loll.. Err You say bishop is lower why? Don't forget, Bishops have a faster cast rate and do more magic dmg. And I have to say many popular training spots are holy weak such as gallos and Skele. Bishop is the best mage there is to party with and DPS.

[quote] pantburken : This is so biased it's not even funny. The poster on the first page was correct. The whole thing is far to situational. For example, a dexless, godly equipped warrior class character is going to outdamage a horribly funded bowmaster at a boss. Same goes for a godly equiped NL and a crappy, average Corsair. The TS hasn't taken into consideration all the situation changes that take place. Equips, whether it's a mob or a boss, dexless, low dex, regular dex, etc. The wrongness of this thread will only result in a flame war. [/quote] Well this is considering if everyone was the same in equips and AP build

It's very situational, and all depends on how you play. A NL with SE, however, would usually out DPS anyone due to their mobilitiy (FJ/haste), whereas on paper, corsairs would have a higher dps. I'm assuming this is just 1v1, and not on mobs, which would be a whole different story.

AMs have speed and elemental boosts, making them slightly cast faster and have stronger damage. Bishops were not created to be the strongest job out there. They are useful for bossing because they have good buffs (example: Ress, HS, Dispel). That's why their probably the weakest in terms of DPS but that's not saying they are a sucky job or useless. Their probably more better in terms of bossing and overall training and AMs. (Just with less att >.>)

[quote] Joshuadit : wouldnt Damage per Second go to MMs?. Pierce and Snipe anyone? [/quote] Do remember you have to count the charging and casting times for Pierce; for an average of 982% on its initial hit, >1 sec in all for one attack is kinda iffy. This is assuming single target damage.

There are too many factors to consider to really put a number on all these classes. /End thread.

As previous posters have pointed out, dps is situational and applies to different characters. Not only that, but variables such as funding, boss attacks, hp, ap and sp builds, etc. come in to play too, making it near impossible to correctly gauge actually dpm, seeing how it varies with your situation. Just because corsair w/ battleship is at the top of your list doesn't mean that you should always pick a corsair over a (insert random class name, eg marksman) during a boss run. And not only that, but this is assuming they're the same levels and have the exact same funding, which is pretty darn rare. Different classes reach their top damage at different levels. Lets make a hypothetical situation. I'm a hoster of a zrun, and I want a 6 person run. I have 4 others (all dark knights), and there's one spot open. Am I going to take a level 130 corsair because he has battleship, which beats every other class dpm? No, because at that level, not only will it break pretty often, but because he won't contribute as much as, say, a bowmaster or marksman of the same level would. So it all boils down to... Why the heck do you care about the dps chart? Yes, to answer your question, I'm disagreeing.

[quote] Joshuadit : wouldnt Damage per Second go to MMs?. Pierce and Snipe anyone? [/quote] Damage per minute and damage per second are the same thing. Damage per minute just gives you bigger numbers with every class, damage per second gives you smaller, cleaner numbers, while every class is ranked the same.

You obviously don't know the potential of Marksmen. They're up there next to Bowmasters.
