WHICH LINEAGE 2: REVOLUTION SKILL YIELDS THE HIGHEST DAMAGE OUTPUT?

                I was wondering what class owns the skill that yields the highest amount of damage output per cast. The following calculations are based on my understanding of how they are calculated in accordance with the description of skills. Thus, passive skills are considered and serve as additional multiplier to find the maximum damage. On the contrary, I did not include masteries. In addition, I used maximum level of each skill and provide basic variables such as physical/magical attacks. The first illustration is arranged by sorting off identical skills but differs on their additional damage. The second one shows skills sorted by highest damage output to lowest.

These are notes to the calculation:

·         Critical Damage calculation of skills considers all total hits.

·         Damage-per-second effects of skills are not included.

·         Initial Damage means the partial damage before damage rate is applied.

·       Skill Power means the additional damage by percentage before the initial damage. Only Sorcerer has this skill buff.

·        Damage Rate bonuses from skills are automatically applied to the total damage assuming it has been used.

·     Given P. Atk. / M. Atk is a variable I provided assuming that all classes and jobs possess the same amount.

·      Skills in bold format represent the highest amount of damage input with its corresponding class/job.

Given P. Atk./ M. Atk column is open for editing in case you want to enter your real amount of Atk. Click here to view the illustrations. There are two sheets provided:
