    I'm not quite sure what you're talking about with Paladins, with Wars I feel about the same. How do you even know they're doing more damage than you?

    I've got a Dragoon as well but if you have a solid rotation I feel like I'm putting out waaaay more damage than my warrior does so long as you're flanking and disemboweling correctly. If you feel like the Warriors are out damaging you, I can only be led to believe you have a bad rotation.

    Warriors and Paladins do not do "maybe lil lower" damage. They do roughly half the DPS in most fights that a true DPS does. Even if I geared fully for damage I wouldn't be able to touch a job that is designed for damage. Their skills are far better for it than a warrior or paladins skills. Combined with the fact that strength ring drops aren't readily lootable by tanks making the gear required annoying to get.

    I mean no offense, but you're either a bad dps, or you only play with bad dps. In my experience tanks never come close, and are always last in dps (not including healers).

    Now, a warrior off tank can put up some respectable numbers, but that's when they're focusing on dps, not tanking. If they use their tanking skill (Defiance?), their dps goes way down.

    On a dummy I'll get 220DPS in Sword Oath(400STR) and 250DPS out of Defiance (437STR).

    Bad rotation is bad.

    Check your rotation. (Also you're wearing full Artifact Armour, I'd consider investing in some darklight gear purchased in Mor Dhona)

    The damage difference in gear for level 50 is MASSIVE.
    Note: What you have now isn't considered decent gear for a level 50 player.
