Paladin or dark knight as dps?

[Niwashi]

Not as effectively as jobs intended to be damage dealers. That in turn means you should only attempt it with groups of friends who have agreed to such non-standard job choices. I've heard of some groups of friends who use all sorts of odd job combinations, and have a lot of fun with the challenge that presents. Just don't try it in DF or anywhere else you'll have a random group of strangers and just expect them to all go along with it.

(If you want an actual sword-wielding damage dealer, go Ninja. They may call their swords "daggers" but there are some huge ass daggers they use.)

That's because they're all wakizashi...essentially
