can high peek of 6k+
I've never hit more than 5500 or so on drk without exploiting a weakness or brewing. (Don't ask why I was brewing with it. It was a bad situation and I was the only one with a brew on 'em. Didn't wanna lose the pop.)
My gear is not ideal, but it's not bad. I guess if I atma'ed up specifically for bigger ws numbers I could get higher easily, but sacrificing the DOT seems really dumb.
Paladin can actually still put up very respectable numbers with the right gear/food/atma. You're not going to outdo a dark knight in either spike WS numbers or overall DPS. But you'll do better than most people expect if you play it right.
That said, if you don't have dark knight leveled and intend to use it, you should still be doing Almace/Ochain before Caladbolg for paladin.
