Dangit Tosh, you don't play to see who can do the highest damage. You play to use the character you think is going to be fun. If you think beating on an enemy close-range is fun, Bandit / Warrior. If you like to snipe, Assassin or Archer. If you like magic, magician.

If everybody played for highest damage, NOBODY would be a Cleric! At level 60+, I still have not topped 1,600 damage with Heal on a single enemy. Claw does about 1,300 damage max. At level 60, Assassins can do 1,500 x 2 with Lucky 7 EASILY. Bandits can do 400 x 6 with Savage Blow EASILY. Warriors are hitting for 2,500 damage with Power Strike EASILY, then there's Final Attack after most of those! Archers can dish out 1,500 x 2 with Double Shot EASILY. Fire Wizards are hitting 2,500 each arrow, Lightning is dealing 800 each hit. Ice manages 2,000+, Poison nails 500 per second.

And I'm using Magic Claw to hit 500 x 2 on average. Heal does anywhere from 300 to 1,500 damage when I use it on a single enemy and does roughly 6-800 each on 5 targets.

Damage is not the reason you make a class. It's the fun factor. Personally, I think Assassins are more fun than Bandits because throwing stars is really cool. However, Lucky 7 is all you do for the rest of your Assassin life.
