SpoilerDo note that the numbers above are for a level 200 Bucc and a level 120 Striker. And also note that on a Thunder Weak monster, the Striker wins by a landslide (117k DPS with Barrage+2ED)
For those of you who are going to ask, yes, I do need to make a calculator for everything.

How the hell does 74,163 * 1.25 = 117k?
The problem with the newer classes is that they stopped accounting for Sharp Eyes. The strength of NLs with SE is balanced by their low damage without it. The strength of Buccs with SE is balanced by their inability to stun bosses. Arans and Thunder Breakers are pineappleing OP with it.
(then again, Thunder Breakers aren't really like Buccs. Buccs are like Shadowers with semi-godmode and strong, fluid mobbing power. Thunder Breakers have shiet avoid/lower accuracy and Shark Wave pales in comparison to Dragon Strike. They're more like Warriors.)
