e.g., If class A has multiplier of 1.5, and class B has multiplier of 1.0, and they both do 100% / sec for their respective weapons, then you can say that Class A does 100% * 1.5/1.0 = 150% / sec where the PPS is in terms of "B's weapon".
A more accurate DPS measure would to take into account the average attack ratio of the class's weapons.
That way, DB's, who have 193 natural weapon attack with clean 140 equips compared to 161 for mages with wands (far the better choice over a staff, only a small attack difference for a full speed stage), 69 for Night Lords (balanced out by their multiplier and their %'s), 131 for Paladins and Marksmen, 114 for Demon Slayers, 122 for Arans and Dark Knights, 137 for Heroes, 128 for Bow Masters, Shadowers, and Mercedes, et cetera.
'nuff said.
