As you brought up, there's STR and MND, and VIT. And if SE ever fixes DEX (for Block Rate, updating Block Formula), then that's one other Stat to worry about. Whereas other Jobs usually just need to worry about 2 Primary Stats, and in Warrior's case it's just STR and VIT (and VIT inherently adds HP and Defense).

There are some fundamental flaws with the way SE has designed the job overall IMO.
Actually Warrior technically has to worry about DEX if we're bringing block rate into the equation. Dex governs parry, Warrior's damage mitigation equivalent of block. The only odd one out if Mind. However for stat allocation with PLD I'd simply go STR/MND. I think Paladin's primary stat should be VIT and not STR but it is what it is.
