Theoretical Strongest Class?

Which class, in Theory, if it reaches its 100% full potential, would be the strongest?
A class can only be so strong with a damage cap.

For example :
Kasiers hit 999,999 x 12 (13 with hyper skill)
Shad hit 999,999 x 8 with carnival, another 8 with a % dmg reduction with shadow partner (Also have poison)
NL hit 999,999 x 4 with quad, another 4 with a % dmg reduction with shadow partner (Also have poison)
Corsair with rapid fire would hit 999,999 x 1 at a very fase rate
Dks would hit 999,999 x 5 with a slow rate (Obviously not the strongest)

What im asking ( and i know this is all theory, and not everyone will have this applied to them and it takes a lot of funding to be in this situation) is which class, with its full potential, hitting nothing but damage cap would do the most damage over time.
To me its pretty interesting, i feel like the "Top damage class" could potentially in theory be outdamaged by a class thats seen to be "Weaker" If you could just fund it very very well. Depending on how fast a class attacks, and how many hits that class does per attack the answers could very well be suprising.
If anyone knows the answer to this, or is interested in finding it, i would be very intrigued and curious to know the results.

(I just had to remake this thread because basil just went down when i hit add my thread ;_;. So i made it shorter)

Oh, I forgot to say ab's +60% crit damage is amazing too

[quote=KilIerCombo]Actually phantom's skill is slower than hurricane/ishtar.

Anyway the strongest class right now would be AB because of their default damage cap increases. AB aside, many classes have skills that can go over the cap like summons/DoT which means it still depends on funding...[/quote]

Ah okay. Well then Mercedes sounds like the winner.

Well, if we're considering that all classes hit max damage with every attack and have 100% critical rates, I'd imagine that either Mercedes or Phantom would do the most damage. Both their main attacks do two lines of (500 hits/60 seconds), plus Final Attack/Carte Noir activation.

So depending on how Carte Noir works, Phantoms do either 25m/sec or 33.3m/sec. Mercedes do 28.3m/sec.

I wonder what range is required to hit 17ms per snipe in that video of a MM soloing HT in 2 min

AB, of course. Soul Seeker hitting 10m constantly cannot be beaten by anything right now.

At the moment AB has the highest damage caps, so by your logic that'd make it the strongest class (especially with soul seeker)
