    Well, at ilvl70~110 VIT is the only option.

    An extra 30 attack from STR isnt going to put a dent in anything when you already have 370-400 attack. It's not going to give you the amounts of extra enmity you hope it would either. On a Lv.50 Training Dummy it will make your Fast Blade go from about 166 damage to about 180. Your Savage blade from ~211 damage to ~225. And your Rage of Halone from ~290 damage to ~314. It's 8%, sure, but 8% of crap is still crap. Paladin isnt a damage dealer. Does it help? Sure. But once something actually requires you as a PLD to need that extra 14-24 damage over increased survivability, something is terribly wrong with your party and your actual DD party members.

    DEX it's Blockrate increases give you maybe a 1-2% higher blockrate/parry from 30 Dex. Nothing that would save your hide when in trouble (Lets face it, <10% blockrate for 20% damage blocked is still a measely 2% efficiency.), and you cant block magic.

    While 30 VIT on the other hand gives you an extra 435 HP. Extremely helpful when you have 6000 HP, and still very helpful when you have 7000.

    Just focus with PLD on what you're meant for. Taking hits for other people. And quite frankly, the only thing that helps towards that is VIT.
