best stats for a paladin

[Judge_Xero]

From testing that has been done, staking VIT at 50 has almost zero noticeable effect. DEX increases shield block rate, but again the rate is so inconsequential, you may as well not even waste the points in it.

STR increases your WS damage and by extension, your enmity when using The Fast/Flat Blade combo.

MND increases your magic defense, as well as your damage. MND is probably the single most important stat to put your points into.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MND - 4:1 Healing Magic Potency, Increases Flat Blade/Spirits Within Combo Multipliers (Capped ~240 @ Lvl 50) Largest gains to Auto-Attack up to cap, increases Weapon Skill Damage

STR - 3:2 Attack, Gives the largest increase to WS Damage.

DEX - 3:2 Accuracy, Increases Block Rate (which against anything over Dlvl is horrible) PLD least useful stat

VIT gives 1:1 HP, 1:1 into Block @ 0.1%, 3:2 Def/MDef, 4:1 Enhancment Magic Potency

Enmity+ 1:1 @ 0.1% increases Enmity Generated by all Actions. (10 Enmity = 1%)
