5 paladins

[nodoze]

Love Paladins and my main is a Paladin but I would not say they are optimal DPS for grinding dungeons.

Each of my 2 Paladins do somewhere around 1/4 (to maybe peaking at 1/3 on some mobs) the damage of each of my 3 Warriors with pretty much the same weapons and armor. To be fair they are both speced Holy but both are always going melee with the Warriors and casting Seals and Judging regularly (was initially doing max ranks of both Crusader & Righteousness)... I do tend to try to heal with 1 Paladin at a time to max the mp5 via the 5 second rule on the other Paladin so often one is pretty much not stopping DPS to heal on a given mob (I try to swap Healers when I switch to a new mob) so when I say 1/4 to 1/3 that is max attacking sealing/judging... They would get an increase in damage by going Ret but even as Ret I don't think they would be even close to being on par with the Warriors...
