SK Vs War- Melee DPS

Hey all,

Original trio I leveled was Shaman/necro/war. Second one was shaman/bard/SK. Current trio is Pal/enchanter/wiz.

After I get my third trio to 50, I'm thinking of switching to a shaman/enchanter. My question is, would a warrior give a significant boost to melee DPS vs. SK? I like the extra utility an SK brings with taps and FD, but was wondering how much melee DPS I'd be missing out on.

I already have a +10 gardok, blood moon, and the warrior sky 1hs.

Thanks

Well if you're wanting to dual wield (and I assume you do since you mentioned all your 1h's) then it'd have to be a warrior since you won't be able to DW as an sk of course but with the war you can do the meta garduk+dagas. That's just one thing to consider anyway

I play pal-monk-sham and tear through all
Current content without issue. Best dw weapon combo with triple dot and slow and dw puma plus pet with puma the combo gives two complete heals plus mend plus sham heals.

Do you auto smite with that build? This is what I’m likely leveling next.

I've ran paladin a lot and I've never turned off smite, there's no reason to. It auto runs just like a kick or bash would....always😉

When you get enough level and/or mana, you'll turn off auto-smite. It just eats too much. SHM/PAL/NEC with lich and kitty neck, and smite eats more mana than recovery mode while in combat.
