DPS takes into acct the spd of the weapon along with the damage. Why do those VL's and Bats have such higher DPS than us because their faster. Why do carbines have such high DPS because their faster.

What matters is the max damage, put a spd pu on your hammer and you are still the king of melee damage. On the battlefield who do you fear more? A carbineer or a Rifleman, dont know about you guys but those riflemanpack a punch andare my first targets I just laugh at the Carbineers and Pistoleers.

DPS is the most overrated stat in this game and you people need too realize that.

Sure other profession can do their specials faster than me, but we hit harder. Just for example in 15 seconds Fencer goes through his specials and does a total of 3k damage too me before his action is all gone, now in 20 seconds we go through are specials and we do a total of 4.5k damage before our action is gone. These are just numbers not actually tested numbers. With the amount of action we are given we are doing more damage.

Just brought this up because it seemed alot of you mentioned that you were dissapointedwith our damage compared too Pikeman and Fencer.

I cant imagine the output I will be dishing out once they fix ArmorBreak. Well ok i can imagine it

with the xris acid sword as a fencer i can burn thru 4k health in 5 hits not including kd and armor break....sometimes less......with all my action left over

i like swordsman and fencer....but i choose to use fencer with all the sweet weapons from carpet world cuz they just own

fencers most appealing attribute imo is the improved binding strike....this move alone lets me take out swordsmen and most other professions because most of their weapons have high SAC and when you stick binding stike on them it reduces their action regen by a ton

no action = no big hits =i live longer to hit them back

I love the massive damage swordsman deals, second to bounty hunter coupled with rifleman. I felt swordsman was too slow until I respeced to msater doctor to couple with doctor and once I gave a shot of addrenaline boost and action regen boost, swordsman is a whole lot better with the improved speed!

blinding strike unfortunately is only useful in PvP.
