Just to clarify so people stop getting confused and ask how some classes are as high as they are: these charts depict unrealistic situations where a boss doesn't move, attack, etc; and all you do is attack and buff as needed over the course of 1 minute, this chart also does not factor weapon multipliers or pure attack; the ONLY time these charts are remotely realistic, is when you have a boss CONSTANTLY bound for an entire battle, these charts are made to give a basic idea of where classes lay strength wise, not be some end all be all bible on this game =P

* Footnote: due to the way the random number generator works, Battleship Bomber is still overall the better skill to use since most of the time it winds up stronger than headshot.
* Footnote number 2: 13125%/s thats the % second for any NL at level 200, the level 200 version is probably more relevent to us.
*Footnote Number 3: Paladin, I/L Archmage and F/P Archmage all has elemental reset, so they are unaffected by physical resist in any way.
*Footnote Number 4: Zero's chart assumes CONSTANT tag-ins to achieve maximum damage output, doesn't use advanced throwing weapon as its actually detrimental to DPM
