Oh. I think this community judges DPS rankings based on what people from the versions ahead of us say.
I think the current consensus (for 60 cap) is something this:
At 50 cap, from personal experience, it seems as if it's more like this:
These charts are assuming sustained DPS. In most situations, DPS is more burst-like in nature, so the DPS gap isn't quite so massive.
Even as a Saint, I find myself pulling enemy aggro a lot in nest runs, because all of my damage is front-loaded into four skills: Righteous Bolt (averages 15-30k x 4-8), Chain Lightning (averages 50-150k x3), Holy Burst (averages 20-40k x 5), and Relic Reaction (averages 40-100k per relic). Chain Lightning and Holy Burst in particular have massive AoE to the point where I'm pretty much a walking nuke that wipes out everything that isn't a boss in a 5-10 meter radius with a press of a button.
For the elemental classes, the charts are not taking into account enemy elemental defense, of which Desert Dragon Nest has universal 50%+ elemental defense on just about everything.
This game isn't so much a DPS game, though. A lot of classes have varying support options that makes certain party setups preferred over others.
