Has anyone actually seen the DPS a Paladin can put out when (s)he is playing the class to its fullest and has the gear? Pally epic with 41% haste belt, the epics proc, the secondary proc you get from Divine Might, and Str/Dex capped to max out slashing DPS and procs, the numbers they can put out (relative to their class) are pretty scary. That and the combination of Bash with the epic and the availability of stuns (and both procs count as stuns, if I remember correctly) makes the Paladin an absolute TERROR against casters, especially undead casters.

Oh come on. You live in a dream world if you think a Pally has awesome DPS output and any point in their life. I can't think of a worse class on the whole game that has less DPS. No Caster or Melee I can think of. None. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Hell even a Ranger looks like Bruce Lee compared to a Pally. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] SK is not much more but with their pet, and it does add up over a long fight, they do more DPS. Harm Touch alone is more than probably a Pally can do 3/4 of the fight. Granted it has a LONG reset timer but it still is DPS.

Hey I play a Pally and like it, but in CoM we are not talking about a killing machine like a Monk can be. There is times I want to just delete the bastard and put me out of my misery. Pretty bad when the Shaman says "afk for about 5 minutes while I make a sandwich and get a beer", and I say "NP, no hurry, the mob will be here when you get back. Will need another Haste when you get back plz to finish it off". [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
