Warriors are useless in 90% of the games content

[Gloomlord]

Let's not forget that Paladin is the perfect Enchanter/Necromancer bodyguard for charms. That's a pretty significant positive for them in a group. Can't tell you how many times I've saved the Enchanter's life and saved so much time from a potential death.

If we look at it only from the perspective of only DPS and Durability, then obviously Warrior wins. The utility that Paladin (And perhaps even Shadow Knight) brings is a big plus that, in my opinion, overrides that.
