Guns are inferior to Staffs.

Yes true. Have you guys played any of the Final Fantasy games? Especially the old ones. The accuracy stat there decides how many times you hit a target per attack, and more hits in a single attack = higher damage. I believe DPS works in a very similar way in this game as well. DPS - damage per second, if anyone didn't know - is exactly what it sounds like, and quite akin to the accuracy stat in Final Fantasy works in the same way as well. Like PsychoNuke ^ said, higher dps = higher dmg = higher....
