Will DK's ever be able to compete DPS-wise with Heroes and Paladins? Assuming all three classes are dexless with the best weapon they can use.

I want to make a DK, but I'm also a damage whore =[ I don't want to make one and make it godly, just to see some Hero or Paladin come along and kill my damage just because his class mechanics are better.

Is it worth it? Do DK's do alot of damage?

(Note: I only have a decent amount of knowledge about DrKs)

DKs (or DrKs) can also bust out big damages. This augments during 4th job, but comes with a "hitch".

But besides the 4th job handicap, given the right equips, yes DrKs can shine DPS-wise. For example, if you boss with a good pair of Skis (high 11x att-12x+ att), have SI and Apple, that's the best DPS combo you could have for a DrK in a bossing situation.

Don't worry about being a damage whore, first thing. If you want to make a DK, just build it up step by step, and not worry about "great performance". Eventually you'll see the results you desire.
