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

topic got a little disjointed but i feel ya - i just prefer monk FD / stone / mend for nearly all situations save for some niche camps

if all 3 are competent players monk is the clear choice...but yeah...if not exactly p99 all-stars SK is just more forgiving

its funny...we have to use "no enc / cleric" parameters to even have an interesting conversation about best group trios

I still want to do a static, no twinking, all iksar necro / shaman / monk. Go out in the world and farm for gear upgrades. I think thats gotta be the most baller trio outside of enc / cleric / whatever.

You seem to be missing the best tank in your signature link down there … what gives ?

Can anyone Confirm the Skill caps for Paladins and Shadowknights per the wiki. It says paladins get higher piercing, but shadowknights get slightly higher offense. I don't have a level 60 of either class otherwise I wouldn't be asking.

SKs do have a lower piercing cap. My SK is capped at like 207 at 58. Not sure about offense, would need to double check what my current skill number is. Don't have a paladin to compare offense skills either.

To OPs question, SKs do out DPS paladins in any solo/group content. They have a pet, lifetap proc, and an exclusive attack buff via shroud of hate.

Raid DPS isn't really relevant for knights. Neither are DPS classes in raiding. You bring paladins for buffing and soulfire, you bring SKs for some specific pulling in VP.
