With all the right stuff in to hit speed cap, those would become 780ms for reflection (it's higher usually due to its mechanics), and 1620ms for demon cry. If you cast your skills exactly when the spawn tick kicks in, you can pull off 4-5 casts of reflection which will kill 32-40 mobs (or 36-45 mobs if you have Squeakpeak Luminous in Monster Life), and similarly you can pull off 2 casts of demon cry (30 mobs) with a 3rd cast spilling over to the next tick (i.e. you will on average hit less than 45 mobs per tick).
I just need 2 answers:
(1) with a Kanna around, what's the spawn count like?
(2) Does the EXP bonus from Demon Cry affect HoH mobs? That directly affects the number of mob equivalents a DS kills.
There are very few classes that are capable of clearing HoH so fast, with spammable large AoE skills or large-range skills. A Mechanic with portal would greatly assist training for many classes (Left, right, tele down, left, right, tele up, repeat), so in particular Cannoneers, Buccaneers, Thunder Breakers and Mechanics (dem pirates) will wreck havoc with their lazorz, and maybe Mikhail. Goes without saying that Phantoms can do the same if they steal their skills. Similar classes include Xenon (Fuzzy: Bombard), and maybe Demon Avengers and Wind Archers (Spiral Vortex has enough range?). All these classes have skills with >450% range so they can fully rinse an entire path. Makes for boring grind...
Of special note are BaMs, because if they can 1HKO with Finishing Blow + Sweeping Staff I, and your latency is very low, then with a base delay of 810 + 240 + 300ms = 1350ms they will kill 6 mobs with the first part, and the second part they will kill 8 mobs on top with Sweeping Staff II without the need to teleport up or down. 14 mobs per 1350ms... pretty good, faster than a Lumi (but fingers more tired).
Also of mention are Evans, since their Flame Wheels are reknown since the beginning of time (10 mobs in 900ms base??).
