Disclaimer: All of this information is derived from the website we already know. Getting Started PLEASE READ THESE FIRST FOUR HEADERS BEFORE GOING ON, OR YOU MAY SEE SOME REALLY BIG CONTROVERSIAL FACTORS, SUCH AS A LOW DAMAGE RANGE. On June 17/2010, people playing KMST announced a giant skill revamp that essentially changes many skills for every single class. Most skills were changed, and almost all percent-damage skills were changed, for the better or for the worse. Due to these changes, the Dmg-Per-Minute for many jobs is now pretty vague. There are many arguments going back and forth about who's the new DPM king. Several Error Factors The Damage formula is being revamped entirely. However, no one knows how it's being revamped. Thus, all damage calculations will be based solely on how fast a job attacks with their highest DPM skill, or previous highest DPM skill. Damage range factors The Damage range will be calculated for every job as follows: Wearing no items. Level 200, stats applied for Stat-less only while wearing the level 64 Maple Item. Why? Because some classes have naturally lower damage range than others yet have similar DPMs. If we make a constant damage range for every job, the damages will be very off. Everything must be class-specific. All +attk skills will be implemented. If the job has no +attk skill, then a 12 W.attk Warrior Elixir (or +20M.attk Wizard Elixir) will be applied. No Maple Warrior applied. No Stat-increasing items or applied. 100% Mastery for all jobs. There will be a separate section for SE and thorns, if thorns applies. Steady Damage Range Factors The damage ranges seem wrong for the Damage range factors stated above but they are VERY right. However, just to make you guys happy, I'll do a damage range comparison if the damage range was 10000~10000. However, None of the +atk skills will apply. Table Of Contents Simply use Ctrl+F and type in the special "W.00##" in the find box in order to skip around, if you wish. Fourth job calculations only, unfortunately.

[quote] Comradery : perhaps this is important... how are the KMST players reacting to this revamp? [/quote] They like it. I like it as well. Why? Because classes that can mob easily are lower in the DPM rankings. Classes that focus on one-monster-damage are higher on the DPM rankings. The fact that Arans and DBs were up there in the first place was just completely messed up.

Wow, I'm surprised dual blades are actually 11th on the list. I actually thought they'd be first. So, are you saying that if you gave each class the same funding, Dual blades are 11th and Marksmen are 1st? Just to clarify / confirm. Thanks,

I don't see the rationale for this at all. Marksmen are not supposed to be excellent with 1v1 dpm. We are on the top in mobbing compared to other jobs. Something is not right if we are number 1 on these charts. Edit: Thank you for taking the time for compiling this, this must have taken a while.
