Has anyone played both of these or done a comparison?
I have (for whatever reason) decided I want to play a THF toon. I know Barb is probably better DPS than both,, but I'm really not a fan of Vicious damage.
This is for an end game Raiding toon , not someone I'm planning on running Epics with.
With an ESOS it's looking to my (completely non math inclined) brain that a 20 Paladin THF will outdamage a 20 THF Fighter against anything that is evil, through the smites/sacrifices/Divine might etc.
Zeal gives the same thing as the Fighter capstone (although obviously can be dispelled)
Divine Might III does more damage than Power Surge
And it looks (to me) that Divine Sacrifice II (or definitely III) will do more damage (chain cast) than the Kensai bonuses.
Which still leaves the smites, as well as the bonus dice against evil outsiders.
Plus of course a Paladin can gain a bit of AC for the party, self heal and do limited buffing.
So does anyone know if the 10-11 Haste boosts I think my 20(ish) fighter would have match the DPS potential of the bonuses the Paladin gets?
Again, this is for a Raiding build, obviously the fighter is a better choice for Epics/Anything that doesn't have an Evil outsider as an end boss or against trash.
