Haven't paid attention to pallys crit rate to know if it is raised with other skills as well or not.I calculated both damages using their criticals. Judgement Dragon is significant enough to care about, but the default critical gives on average 1.75% damage per hit. Blast's innate critical isn't very good in my opinion due to its high base %. It's the same in GMS now where SE doesn't benefit Blast very much since it already does an absurdly high amount of damage in a single strike and the activation rate is just low. Now, the damage bonus is even smaller, but at least you'll see some red numbers.
I'm still withholding judgement on my class til I see some results from when it goes live. THe writings on the wall, but things play out differently than on paper all the time in this game.

If Sacrifice bypasses PDRate, then I would say that Sacrifice Dark Knights are stronger unless the Paladin somehow has advantage. I'm still not too clear on how Advanced Combo works now though. There are a few possibilities, but since they've removed the base % from before (140%x damage with no Orbs at all).
I'll just post the numbers here and maybe make a thread later to discuss it in more detail.
Brave Slash @ 1020ms
1639.3%/s 175% Combo
1873.5%/s 200% Combo
Blast @ 840ms
1752.6%/s
Sacrifice @ 750ms
1602%/s
1788%/s (With Final Attack)
I've still no confirmation for Final Attack + Sacrifice though, but you can see they're very close for %/s. Dark Knights have a higher modifier, so they're already 1.16x stronger than 2H Swords with the same attack, but are generally slower. These speeds are Normal (6), which I believe most Spears and Polearms reach with Booster, but 2H usually go to Fast (4) (~8/7x stronger), and 1H go to Faster (2)(~4/3x stronger).
