Thanks for the info peeps

@star909 They're just different units for measuring the same thing no?

Anyways, it's always a good idea to take dps charts with a bit of skepticism. Usually there are no formulas or work that accompany the charts showing how they reached the conclusion a class does x% amount of damage, so its mostly unverified by the public(How do we know those %'s aren't all bogus?) The DPS calculated is also theoretical and simplified by nature, further removing it from true in-game dps against the likes of bosses who are more than straw dummies. There's more that could be said, but I think I'm just preaching to the choir at this point.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, DPM is not the same as DPS and they're both highly unrealistic.

@above is right. that is the most recent. the dpm chart that I posted was for our current patch. It was from when kinesis released in kms (no changes have come since than)

Above chart is most recent DPM list, post Evan/Aran revamp and with Blaster added.
Read comments for explanations

Note that Evan post revamp has much higher damage% output than the second leader of the chart, it will likely be nerfed in a few months. The other classes have little difference in damage% output between each other.

As always, DPS chart is even more meaningless when capping. Although they historically did reflect the unfunded performance of a class during the reign of Zero, Wildhunter, FP mage, etc

Ignore people that complain about you asking. her it is https://itzdarkvoid.wordpress.com/2015/09/09/kms-v-1-2-240-boss-dpm-chart/#more-2254 I agree that you shouldn't base your decision 100% on dps but I do think it helps when deciding between 2-4 classes you wanna choose. (you can't get one with kanna/hayato/jett)

No and who the hell cares. Just play the god damn game instead of still worrying about this "DPS" bullcrap..
Here's an idea, make all classes and use battle analysis. Yeah.
