Evans do a lot of damage. They have a lot less defense ignore though. Illusion itself only has 20%, and they get no other sources. On the other hand, Archmages all have a global 20% ignore for every skill. Fire-Poison have damage over time which ignores defense, and Mist Eruption which contributes a lot to their %/s. Ice-Lightning have Glacial Chain and Ice Demon for damage over time, and Glacial Chain's attack itself has 40% ignore. Defense just hurts Evan's damage more than it hurts Archmages, but they still do more damage, though now in the highest echelons of damage whoring, Ice-Lightning will have the advantage with the capacity to hit 6 damage caps every 690ms compared to Evan's 4 damage caps every 510ms.
Yes, in the future, dps will be measured not in %/s but in damage caps per second, with the character who can do the most hits per second (Mechanics) be the winningest.
