Yeah lots will say it's easy cause the Rage of Halone combo. Without considering the things wrong with the class. The low threat paired with being the weakest tank paired with players better geared than you leads to some seriously miserable times. Especially when you get to level 30. Some will even have you think that stacking all vitality is the best route when the healers have no problem keeping pure str tanks alive in leveling dungeon. Considering Sword Oath and the bad design of Paladins, it's pretty obvious you will need to boost threat to be a good tank. Defenses are useless when everyone ignores you. Frankly with all tanks, you'll be better off allocating your points to STR. If you can, you could take advantage of melding.

Also do not EVER stack in parry. It is the worst stat in all of MMO. It blocks little of the little amount of hits it does block.
