Why do people say SK's do more DPS than Paladins?

[Snaggles]

Soloing a CG is quite a feat with a melee. The issue with the pally is the HoT is great but its like 30hp/sec while rolling. Give or take half the hp you get from a lifetap not to mention the damage it does.

Any situation where 30hp/sec is good enough or you want to throw it on another player like a rogue, i personally like the pally spellbook. Going toe to toe with something doing more than that much dps its just a matter of time unless you reach into the bag of clickies. Then again, most SK's dont have an ungodly level of mana...just a few that make really cool solo vids [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
