Why is NW considered so much higher in %/s than NL?

People still use DPS charts?

Anyway, it seems like you're not accounting for the fact that jump attacking on NW makes the second throwing animation for the last star not slow you down, effectively halving its delay with perfect control and jump conditions. Bats are basically a free delayed line on every attack, just like NWs SP.

I can't account for the large difference in that chart, but NW > NL in terms of bossing, definitely.

Well I wasn't debating that NW was better, I just don't get why NL would be listed as having so much lower. The jump attacking info is useful though, I didn't know that.
