Yeah. You didn't read.
tl;dr: On equal grounds - the average paladin would most likely win against the average death knight. The Deathlord IS and SHOULD BE able to wreck squires and knights, even solo. That doesn't mean that the death knight class is better class. The Highlord would still be able to get the Deathlord, if the skills were equal, and we have already seen instances when smaller paladin forces destroyed much bigger death knight forces.
If you are too blind for that truth, then remain in your delusions - I don't care. Neither is my class anyway, but I choose to account for everything instead of my own delusions like the minority butt hurt death knight players.
