PLD Bonus Stats

[Keramory]

Current theories suggest that Str and Dex are more important then Vit. Vit only raises HP, not actual defense. Might be more useful for War but really...you're going to get enough vit with gear. STR is currently the most important or one of the most important due to damage migration.

Edit- wow didnt see this becoming a all out war when I posted my reply. I still stand by it but I'm not getting sucked into it sorry >.> It was based off a few threads I saw on Beta, my own experience (I have 50 in everything so I can be ultra elitist too...yay), and forums elsewhere.

Reality is, those 30 points are not insanely important. Put them in Str or Vit, but it wont matter too much. Not to sound hippy but it both helps with tanking, your role. I still stand by the Str but I'll have to see the changes in release myself. Reason is for migration AND for a small boost in weapon damage, something a paladin needs to think about, because sadly we're not warriors and cannot do their damage. Only time I would go out of my way to stack vit would be if a monster hit to the point where I need the HP to survive a special move or ability that I wont risk my shield with...or simply goes outside my shields block (as I remember some enemy bosses could do that in 1.0). Although quite honestly in that case I'd just go on my mrd anyway >.>
