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

I do feel like pallies have an edge 45-60 but if you’re trying to do bis solo stuff at 60 I’d rather have a sk for fd.

Yeah Paladins are better whenever you are fighting mobs that are level 55+ and/or they are fear immune. At that point typically a Paladin edges out because they are just more consistent.

You don't have to worry about spell resists because you are typically just healing yourself. I would prefer to use a Paladin over an SK when soloing Cliff Golems, for example. Not saying SKs can't do that, but a Paladin will probably have an easier time.

SKs are better whenever you can fight fearable mobs, or you need FD. Crit failing a Soothe on a group of tough mobs while you are deep in a dungeon sucks.
