Pld attribute question.

[NinjaTaru72]

Pld bonus points.
So I just started pld recently. And I'm wondering what should I put my points into? Reading the skills, it seems like str and dex could be usefull. But via is hp and tanks need that. So? Should I split it up? Or just go all into one of them?

But str and dex increase shield block rate and the amount you you block

Are they not as usefull as vit if pointed enough?
High block rate, blocking a lot of things? Or high amount of damaged blocked? Paired with a good shield?

Or is the amount of hp gained per point just become overwhelming enough to not have a use for points that could boost block rates and/or damage blocked?

I posted this in tank forums also, but figured I'd get fast replies here.

I put all mine in vitality.

My opinion, all VIT. It can mean the difference between one shot death or a chance for healer to keep you from wiping. Magic damage can't be blocked.

I've got mine all in vit as well. However, and this is just speculation since I haven't attempted second coil, the hp on a lot of tanks seem to be rediculously high anymore so I'm thinking a trend into str might be coming shortly for the extra dmg and aggro but I wouldn't waste it in other areas

VIT, VIT, VIT

I put 10STR - 20VIT

Guessing I'm the minority.

It's an old post, but the theory can still be applied: The VIT/STR debate for Paladin

Anyway, I think that these kind of questions would be better if posted just on the tank's subforums, as you already did before making this one.
