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

Here is a rough video I did today:

It is surprisingly difficult to get a full run due to people coming in and out of Sebilis. I don't want to interrupt them by trying to dissuade them from going through.

At the end of the video Bbeta and his group came in to finish up one of the tri-mobs hehe.

Might be best to just do the first 8 mobs, since I did those without incident. That is entrance to the bottom of the stairs. I kill the 8th mob at the 37 minute mark in the video.

I also died at the end of the video. I got a bit too greedy and used a runway that was too short. I should have used Dooming Darkness lol.

Nice video, couple things though.

You settled for the 2nd worst pet. I saw you had the broom, you should have resummoned to get a max or 2nd max pet. No reason to leave dmg off the table. You can also click hotkeys from the socials tab of the Actions window while casting, so you can do splits with a pet while moving/casting with the left hand while you click pet back off with the right so it can help you on the splits. I also saw no banshee aura, 12 DS still helps, small things start to add up over time. Fungi will definitely help offset a lot of downtime as well, I see vindi BP as more of a named tanking item, not a sustained xping item.

Otherwise as demonstrated, SKs can be pretty effective if you have even a little bit of room to fear kite. Epic is awesome for swapping in too even if you have a ToV weapon to try to get a proc to eliminate more downtime.
