Fastest Attack Skill in Maple per class? and Overall?

Hi Guys,

So i've always been a fan of super fast attacks and I was wondering what classes have the absolute fastest attack skills,
which sometimes constitutes the 'best' or highest dpm and also how I usually pick one class over another.
I'm also factoring in skills that are native to your class, that you would normally use alongside these.
(I.E. Nightlord would always be using shadow parter)

Moves that are only hyper skills are exempt, simply because you cannot spam them.

What are the fastest attacks in maplestory?

Warrior:
Kaiser: Giga Wave (720ms) (44 per second?)
Hero: Raging Blow [Enraged] (780ms)
Dark Knight: Dark Impale (840 ms)

Thief:
NL: Quad Throw w/ shadow partner
Xenon: Beam Dance
Phantom: Mille Aiguilles
DualBlade: Phantom Blow (810ms) (the pause hurts it)

Mage:
Bam: finishing blow w/ grand light aura active
Evan: Illusion (660 ms)
Beast Tamer: Furious Strikes (Bear)
Archmage Fire/Poison: Paralyze (800 ms)

Bowman:
Wind archer: Song of Heaven (30-35 hits per second w/ trifling arrows included)
Mercedes: Ishtar's Ring (28.2-28.8 per sec w/ final attack)
Bowmaster: Hurricane (14.7 hits per second w/ final attack)
Bowmaster: Arrow Blaster (12.5 hits per second per blaster)

Pirate:
Mech: Siege Mode (24/25 hits per second)
Corsair: Rapid Fire (16.7 w/ dignity)

If i didn't list a skill you KNOW to be faster, it's because I haven't really used that class (For example: Zero, Bucc, Aran, etc)
and i'm doing this to [b]learn[/b] and edit my knowledge of the game.
These are currently in order of what I would think would be fastest to slowest.

[i]Hits per second are only heresay/taken from other's listings
If it's wrong, i can change it. Skills with just delays don't yet have hits per sec.[/i]

Aran: OS .27 .3 .54 (this only happens when chaining them otherwise its just .54 holding down attack) = 8.66 HPS
FBBB will do 10 (11.33 if they make AFA work with FBBB) HPS after Aran gets their revamp.

Kaiser can only theoretically hit 44 per second, this is with the boss in the corner and either 2 or 3 of the tornado things on them (I can't remember the max that kaisers can have at once) and spamming gigas wave, but again, this is only theoretical because the boss needs to be stationary and the tornadoes need to be right on them and the tornadoes will expire soon. Then comes BM's with 36.67hps, which is with the blaster turret and skill, their final attack skill, their phoenix I think, and there may be something else here. Phantoms are in third with 36.33hps, from both blaster turret and skill, the cards that fly out every hit (this is assuming 100% crit which is very easily achieved on a phantom), and judgement draw set to auto.

[quote=iowncloud]For Mechanics, Siege mode. It's only 24 hps and not the best out there lol[/quote]
Combined with our other stuff like OP said was okay I think we are one of the most lines per second.

Kaisers giga wave +wing beat dominate the warrior class.

Phantoms and dbs dominate the thief section, phantom first.

As for the rest..... eh

Siege mode is the fastest im pretty sure. Im not 100% sure but to me it feels like 30hits per second and you also have your satelite robots attacking at the same time and bots n tots and chain lightning robot too. Also our hyper (you said not to include these) hits a lot of times as well and has a really short cool-down of 8 seconds but lasts 4 seconds.
