Also i heard AB is #1 in DPS, but lower on DPM chart.[/quote]

I think he was JUST referring to Shads vs DBs.

Yes MM has one of the best 1v1, but they needed it or the class would suck. Note that there is a MM video of a HT solo in just under 2 minutes. The MM had a range of about 1m or more. There's a DB solo of HT in just over 2 min (the difference between the videos is liek 30 seconds). However, the DB has a 150k range. I have not seen a DB with a range of 1m+ solo HT, but I can bet you that it would be insanely fast.

Basically, even in Shads rank higher after unlimited, the cast time of assassinate is slow, while Pb as a fast cast time.

DBs have a higher DPS and Shads have a higher DPM on a 1v1 target.

However, the Shad calculation is based on them using Assassinate and dark sight, which is why their DPM (Damage per minute) is higher on a 1v1 target.

DBs have a higher DPS (Damage per second) using just one move.

This basically just means that on a single target, DBs will do more damage until a certain time.
So in one second, a DB using a specific move has done more damage than a Shad. However, as more seconds pass, a Shad will eventually have done more damage.
However, most Shads do not use Assassinate on 1v1 target, as far as I have seen.

However, DBs are better in terms of overall damage. Shads can't beat DBs at bossing, and almost all DB boss solo times are half the time of Shad times.

Currently till supposedly( have yet to research it) unlimited, dbs have the highest dps out of all the thieves. Theyre at 25hits where as shad is 16-17 currently per second.

Shad's rank in top 5, (I think), for DPM or w.e. it's called after some thing. I think that we're higher than DB's for that too.
