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

If they aren't DPS classes in raids, why are you using raid DPS as the benchmark?

That is like saying Mages do terrible DPS in raid because they don't use their pets. This is true, but you are missing the point of why Mages exist in raids.

They do much better DPS in Solo/Group content, where they can use their pets.

You are basically creating this strawman scenario where you are saying "raiding is the only thing that matters, therefore SK's can't use their pets, therefore DPS is the same". It's a nonsensical argument.

Why are you so upset that when they do attack they are similar? I know their role isn't that

I am not upset at all. I also agree that Paladin and SK DPS is the same if they only autoattack with the same weapon. I never denied that.

You are simply creating a strawman scenario that removes every DPS element an SK has other than autoattack to try and claim Paladin and SK DPS are the same.

It's simply not true. In all Solo/Group content, an SK will do more damage, which is OP's question. In a raid, SKs and Paladins are not there to do damage, so who cares which class does more damage in that scenario? It's like caring about if Clerics or Mages do more DPS in a raid.

No one's creating anything, you went on a tagent because you wanted to make a point. When they attack on raids they are similar. You made up all the extra arguments no one cares about.

Then you agree that SKs do more DPS than Paladins in Solo/Group content, and that Raid DPS doesn't matter for SKs and Paladins? That would be the only way I would be "making things out of nothing".
