Being a fan of calculations such as this (honestly, I wish I had thought of doing this thread first, Dusk), I know how nice it is to see the really high numbers that raw damage (that is, damage without defense) puts out. However, it can make a very large impact on DPS, especially in cross-class comparisons. I might suggest 800 (skelesaurs) and 1500 (around what HT has) as defense benchmarks. Though I have been known to use 2000 (Anego) in several of my calculations.
Lastly, in case you forgot, defense is applied as such:
maxRange-monsterDef*0.5=newMaxRange
minRange-monsterDef*0.6=newMinRange
And then the % modifier is used.
EDIT: Also... isn't Barrage 6 hits? Am I missing something? You have it listed at 10.
EDIT2: To reiterate a question above, because I didn't see an answer, what attack pots are you using for all those characters? Warrior Elixers and Apples might both be necessary for a fair comparison.
Yeah, I might consider adding a def mod in there. It's tough to decide on a fair value to use. There's no way I'm using what Skelesaurs have - I'm trying to make it clear that the numbers here in no way represent how much damage each class would do while training. There's too many variables to account for. Buccaneers do a pomegranate ton of damage when they have access to stun mastery and SE, and NLs have their Venom. Also, Skelesaurs die in 1-2 hits for most classes at level 200, so there's no point. Who trains at level 200, anyhow? o_o I'll probably just add a defense modifier box, and set it at 0 by default.
Barrage, as has already been mentioned, is effectively calculated as if it were 10 hits of damage. The last two hits are directly double and quadruple the % of the first four hits, including SE and everything. It's like how TT is effectively 3 hits, even though you see 6 numbers.
To all the people that mentioned attack pots, if you look you'll notice a space for attack pots in the base damage sheet. Right now it's listed as zero. The reason I made the whole Excel spreadsheet (which I will upload tomorrow once I add a few things) was so people could take it apart and make their own dps calculations, by playing with the checkboxes and the variables. I don't want to have to post EVERY single find, I'd rather just present the tools and allow people to make their own conclusions.

If the DrK isn't using Berserk for whatever reason, then I don't see much reason to be concerned with how much damage it is doing.
