Paladin has the most damage output without any missies or resists.
The is the most played class by the same reason , auras , buffs , high AC , and insane amount of damage.
clearly requires a balance to be in par with other classes with damage output.
Did you do your homework? Fighter has 3 attacks, superiority dice and action surge. Lvl 12 paladin and lvl 12 fighter that isnt using Action Surge literally deal almost same damage on average, but fighter can double his damage with action surge and both action surge and superiority dice replenish on short rest alowing fighter to go nova several times before he needs a long rest, while paladin has only 10 spell slots and once he used his lvl 3 spellslots paladin's average damage drops lower than fighter's average. And thats without accounting for haste giving a full action which benefits fighter with 3 attacks more than paladin.
