Bowmasters do more due to Sharp Eyes. Although the chart itself is very inaccurate.

Funding=higher dmg. This should be common sense. A godly funded Evan will most def outdmg avg funded Sairs or Nls

I'm very weak, because I spend very little money on this game. It's truly a waste in my opinion, I hope they release cash trading room so maybe in the future I can become stronger. With that being said... Funding = everything.. Everything.

A well funded Bishop can be three times as strong as a poor Corsair post-BB so don't assume what you see in the videos is normal for that class.

Dude, according to what you're saying, you're only watching the big fat numbers above the monsters. Do you know what DPM stands for? Damage per minute. Not damage per hit. It just means sairs hit lower per hit, but they hit faster than NLs. Say an evan, who's famous for slow but powerful dmg, against similarly funded sair. Evan will obviously hit higher, but obviously sairs will hit more times. X11 100 is better than 1000. btw, evan has better pt skills, so I'm not saying sairs are better than evans here.

I looked at a few videos on youtube after reading what you had mentioned.After observing for a while, it does look like night lords do higher damage, but that's not true. I noticed Night lords might have a higher single shot damage with triple shot, giving the illusion their damage is higher, but don't forget, although they're higher, they are also halved.For example: 140k,140k,140k,70k,70k,70k => 490k total (i'm assuming max damage, this damage was something i saw a 17x NL doing post bb) Then i saw a level 15x corsair doing between 45 up to 90k. 80k,80k,80k,80k,80k,80k => 480k total don't forget the level difference between the 175(?) NL and the 152 corsair :-) (23)

apparently us buccaneers are so far below everyone. the only job that has lower dpm is a bishop? I figured we'd at least be somewhere considering we got demo and barrage. o well, guess i'll just transition to mech and nl.

Which means 50%, so if he was dealing 110k per hit, you would have to turn that into 55k, which means 110,110,110,55,55,55... unless there's something i'm not aware of that adds 30% damage to shadow partner, you're talking crap

shadow partner is 50% dmg but if u look at videos its not doing 50% its doing more like 80% or 90%
