Murmillo has +200% strike damage and +730% to Peltasta skills = 100k+ damage umbra blows. If a wizard used lethargy with attribute, numbers would be even higher.
Dragoon has a debuff that gives +100% melee damage.
Fencer has that crazy critical damage stance.
Doppel can make an enemy 100% weak to slash.
A ktos player even said themselves that the top dps goes like this
dragoon2 > fencer3 > fletcher3
No other Rank 8 class got % multiplier buffs/debuffs except Taoist Priest, but just for lightning skills. Yet, all rank 8 swordsmen excluding lancer get damage multipliers…
yeah, super weak.
