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

Does banshee aura stack with ragefire arms? Also paladins get a self buff 65 dmg dd proc that offsets the advantage of the sk tap proc buff line id imagine

That is a good point, I forgot about both of those. Ragefire arms don't stack with banshee aura, so banshee aura is going to be 3 extra damage over ragefire arms.

So pet will be the main factor. As I said, the pet is about 12-15 DPS self buffed. My SK with Ancient Fire Etched Flamberge is doing around 60 DPS self buffed with 54% haste, so pet is about a 20% damage boost. More if you give it a good weapon and/or other player buffs.
