SE effectively doubles Critical output. You get 3689.4% average damage per Combo String with Snow Charge Neutral. Divide by the time to use Attack -> Overswing Double -> Overswing Triple -> Final Blow and there should be your DPS. The %/s probably isn't going to be higher than a NL, but the significantly higher base damage should account for more than that. Though you will have trouble reaching this DPS due to statuses at bosses stopping your Combo from reaching that high.Wouldn't the only status that messes up your combo be Seduce? Everything else is all-cureable, so that's not much of an issue. You can even build up the combo while an enemy has super defense up.
I don't feel like playing with the numbers, but consider that just spamming Attack -> Double -> Triple might be better damage than adding Final Blow due to its cast time and single-hit nature. Though maybe its insane range could make it hit things you wouldn't normally hit. Either way, seems to be something between 1700% and 2000% DPS.
For comparison, NLs do 2295% DPS with SE, while Corsairs do 3055% DPS with SE (they have a much lower multiplier though). I know it's somewhat early to draw conclusions, but I'm going to go ahead and bet that they'll be the strongest warrior class at this rate. Perhaps they'll even out with Bowmasters or so.
