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

[Ennewi]

Stating the obvious but SKs also having Harm Touch gives them an edge, despite how irregular it does any/full damage even with disc applied. Back when push interrupt worked, a resisted HT still had value versus casters because it would push enough to prevent a complete heal/gate. As others have said, mostly it's that the SK can layer on more damage with heavy dots for a fight or two, but those dots cost quite a bit of mana. Except for their pet, OOM puts the SK back in the vicinity of the paladin who wouldn't be able to temporarily increase their damage output even with unlimited mana. If only heals doubled as damage spells versus undead in EQ...

What do we wanna do for a route, DSM?

Seb ent to NG safe spot?

Freeti trash to freeti?

Hole rat jail full clear?

I'm kind of stuck on ideas. May try to get a level as well. Don't think I'll need it but 58 vs 55 is a bit heavy.

I wasn't sure if there were some spots that were tilted towards SK, which is why I was looking for suggestions on your end, I don't have a high level Paladin.

We could do Seb Ent to NG safe spot as an easy starter. See who can kill all the trash to NG faster.

I can do a video first for Seb Ent to NG, and you can try to beat the time. That way you can decide whether you want to get another level or not.

It may be a few days before I get the video done anyway. Not 100% sure when I will get the time to do the full run.

Here is a rough video I did today:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUYKBvYpPyM

It is surprisingly difficult to get a full run due to people coming in and out of Sebilis. I don't want to interrupt them by trying to dissuade them from going through.

At the end of the video Bbeta and his group came in to finish up one of the tri-mobs hehe.

Might be best to just do the first 8 mobs, since I did those without incident. That is entrance to the bottom of the stairs. I kill the 8th mob at the 37 minute mark in the video.

I also died at the end of the video. I got a bit too greedy and used a runway that was too short. I should have used Dooming Darkness lol.
