Paladin DPS the worst of all classes?

[Ruminate]

I'm PLD 50 too...and good thing you're a Maraudeur yourself

Here's the english description of Sword Oath :
"Increases the potency of auto-attacks by 50.
Cannot be used with Shield Oath.
Effect ends upon reuse."

So unless the translation from japanese was done horribly wrong, I don't see where your explanation comes from.

Ouch, you shouldn't have said you have a 50 PLD. Because if you actually had one and used Sword Oath, you'd have noticed two hits with each auto-attack swing. Shame on you for not noticing.
