    Umm, I think you definitely have Wizard and Archer reversed. Wizards have higher spike damage in shorter fights but archers for sure deal the most damage during prolonged fights. Lots of crits over a short period of time with an extremely fast attack rate and special attributes (Gloom/Unrelenting) definitely give archers the highest DPS at any point in the game IMO.

    This isn't even including skills like sharpened tooth arrow. Archers most definitely are the best DDs in the game.

    Wizzard = High numbers
    Archer = High Crit rate

    But phisical attack has VERY NOTICABLE DISADVANTAGE phisical damage dealers can get a crit.........BUT ALSO THEY CAN GET A MISS.

    Wizzards never get a miss, we always make damage (unless there is a mob with elemental inmunity, but I have only seen 1 in the game, its Kun Kun and he is quite easy anyway, he des not even attack).
    Do you have any idea how much accuracy archers have? It's rare that they miss, and their attack rate is so much higher than a wizards cast rate that it more than makes up for any misses.

    Wizards will give you big numbers, but archers will deal more damage over time.

    Archers out DPS Wizards in PvE (even without Sharptooth)

    Can't really argue it.

    Maybe if Wizards put on ALLL channeling gear (rings, belt, neck, etc) then just maybe they can out dps an archer. I dont know though :3

    Edit: oh Kris just said that xD
    Lets ignore the fact that archers can stack up on -int and crit gears also in that hypothetical last situation. That's coming from a 100 wiz. I have an 85 archer and 80 Cleric. A good friend of mine has a 100 wiz and my wife has a 90 archer. Even he will admit that archers easily are the better DDs in extended fights.

    If the OP is asking about spike damage then it's Wiz easily followed by barb (Armageddon) and Cleric (Tempest/WT) IMO.

    uses hamster logic to cancel that call.


    this be a discussion talking about classes in general.
    xD


    he should be his own category.

    he's even got his own class specific skill.
    The LLama E-Peen buff. (A passive buff which Gains it's user a certain % of gold prices in magic attack)
    b:shocked

    okie back on topic.
    um highest damage? heck nearly any class could be considered.
    such as barb's perdition/Armageddon thingy. (me hear that hurts like heck if the barb has a boatload of life and stuff.)
    veno's nix. (hurts like heck too)
    wizards ulti (BT/BIDS)
    archer's.....regular shot b:chuckle lols and their other moves.
    cleric's tempest...(okie mayhaps clerics can't be considered the HIGHEST but still hurts and does pretty good damage.)
    BM (heaven's flame thingy might not be direct highest damage but still does insane amplify for the hits after)
    +1

    I win this thread, k?

    Haiz wins! when you getting your TT100 Haiz?

    Wizards DO NOT do spike damage(unless crit or sutra). Wizards deal constant damage over time. Archers do spike damage.

    Crit = spike

    In the end, wizards is the class with the highest damage. We have MORE than 1 skill that can **** you over

    Also, we can take on classes higher level than us with proper gear. Dont believe me? Ask the 9x+ on Dreamweaver that like to gank me b:surrender
    Sins are Scissors. Psychics are Rocks.
    Archers, Venos, Barbs, Wizards, BMs, Mystics, Seekers are Paper.
    ...and Clerics are Mushrooms.
    Paper beats Rock. Scissors beats Paper. Scissors also happens to beat Rock...until Rock gets 50k+ soulforce at which point Rock becomes an unstoppable killing machine that beats Paper... and would beat Scissors but it can't find Scissors, because Scissors are invisible.
    So Scissors beat Paper and avoids Rock, and that is called BALANCE. -cheze

    wrong :P, mizuoni hasnt really added any kind of relevant information to the posts. we've debated, and had people on both sides, and as much as hed like to think hes in on the argument, hes more like a cheerleader than a debator.

    telling people +1 or complimenting their 'arguments,' or saying 'wiz can do this if theyre lucky' after people ask him to explain how, isnt arguing :).
    Wizards DO NOT do spike damage
    wiz = about damage per hit = spikes.
    >_>;

    archers and other melee classes deal a 'constant over time' AKA damage per second.
    their crits = spikes as well, but that does not mean they deal entirely in spikes.

    advice to fledgling archers:
    Going sage is like drunken sex, at first she may look good, but when you wake up the next morning; you'll look at her and go WHAT HAVE I DONE.

    Someone was asking about using 3 ults in sutra, and thats the questioned I answered. Wafflechan doesnt like me apparently, s/he is doing to same thing in the wizard forums

    I never joined the argument, im just pointing out certain parts. +1 to Haiz screenshot because it was awesome, and i add +1 to other things because im too lazy to retype the same thing someone said previously. Then you would probably complain that im copying what someone else put.

    you also need to make up your mind about wizards being spike/dps, i really think you dont understand what each term means.

    b:sweat
    in me opinion me think wizards are better at spike (when they have sparks and use sutra)
    and at DPH (damage per hour over a frigging long time)
    b:chuckle
    also we get more extra damage from debuffs (excluding physical only debuffs hmm....well BT is physical too so mayhaps it counts) such as the BM dragon debuff. (we can just time it with a ulti or something then cast something right after it hits.)

    eh, when it comes to these forums, 9 times out of 10 its an empty, one sided debate; whereas one side has good points, and the other thinks making stuff up is a good counter. then all the trolls +1 the troll in the argument, and it gets nowhere!

    of my time here:
    archers - most analytical on these boards, just look at all the math on their forum

    venos - best debators, they tend to be the opposite of the archers, and are better with words rather than numbers. (just look at the huge debates on veno boards >_> so much thread jacking.)

    wizards - tend to be the fun lovers/trolls lol... look at hamsta/mizuoni :P

    all the other classes have their fair share of inquisitive minds and R-tards, but thats a whole other story.

    Hands down the class with the highest damage is the GM class. They can 1 shot anyone and everything in the game.

    ~Saitada

    not true, not true, lol, way back when i dodged like 5 hits from Kantorek before he finally hit me, lol, well guess technically it was still a one shot, but was still pretty cool.

    didn't read all the way through this thread, but archer for constant damage and wizzy for spike damage. veno with herc/nix is also up there.

    I'm sorry that I can't make giant walls of text for you, catch me on the weekend k?

    You just dont seem to like people who have opposite views of yours.


    I am now going to answers the OPs question:

    The class with the highest damage(besides Gms) is: Wizards

    You dont believe? Go the the class discussion and look at the text under wizards.

    Like seeing big numbers pop up on your screen? Chances are you're a Wizard.

    Wizards achieve the highest damage in the game and have the strongest skills in game. There is no class that can do more damage in a single hit than a well built wizard.

    Well build endgame wizard > all

    Do you want me to make pwcalcs and show SSs? I can do that if you want.
