Which class helps the party most
Damage buffs multiply the whole group: Paladin (Damaging, +25% damage) and Warrior (Berserk, +25% attack speed) add about a quarter to everyone in range, Mystic (Curse) adds 25% to damage after DEF. Samurai (Exposed) matters most against high DEF.
How it is calculated
Damage per shot = weapon damage × (ATT + 25) / 50, attacks per second = (1.5 + 6.5 × DEX / 75) × rate of fire. DEF subtracts from every shot, a shot always deals at least 10%. Armor-piercing shots ignore DEF. Same formulas as the DPS calculator.
Stats are the class caps from the RealmEye wiki (Exalt 7.1, October 2026), no exaltations, no gear bonuses, no ability damage. All projectiles hit one target.
Weapons compared per type: the best T14 of both subtypes and the usual UTs. Longbows include the pause between bursts, Valor counts −10 ATT and Warmonger −5 DEX while firing, Divinity adds its beam.
Tiers are relative to the strongest class at the chosen DEF: S is within 8% of it, A within 18%, B within 28%, C within 38%.
Other tier lists
Community lists rank by survivability and dungeon use rather than damage, and many predate the 2026 Necromancer, Summoner and Mystic reworks: RealmEye forum, MMOKB, rotato.gg.
