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.
Yup, second this. Not to mention you can put 2 hand xbow on them and they still can output tons of damage and has 1 more feat.
By the way, the rogue can go up to 60 damage in 1 sneak attack, and the assassin can make sure that it crit, and Durge's mantle can make sure that whenever you kill someone, the combat will end instantly so you can 'surprise' them again, and because it is a suprised sneak attack, it is always >95% hit rate.
