Paladin Epic vs other weapons

[kaev]

I'm happy with FD. The AC & stats & decent agro proc are all solid when I tank. When I tank it's all about controlling agro, so nobody cares about my damage output. If I'm not tanking, it's either a social group, so nobody cares about my damage output, or a raid, so nobody cares about my damage output.

An epic paladin really shouldn't care about personal damage output. (Except for making jokes, especially at the expense of any non-cleric who parses below you on somebody's dps calculator after a fight.) DPS is not only the least of a paladin's attributes, it is almost always the least important.

When I want to do damage, I don't play my paladin. When i muck around solo on my paladin for a change of pace, Kilva's Skin of Flame more than doubles my damage output vs unslowed mobs. Marginal differences in weapon damage just aren't important.

Sudz and his Vulak axe would disagree.
