Paladin Attributes

[Ariyn]

VIT is so much more beneficial @50. Holding threat isn't an issue generally unless your heals are spamming aoe heals. But the 2500+ hits from bosses can very much be a strain.

The only real reason worth putting points into str is to get to the next tier of the block plateau. Anything over that is completely wasted as the gain in damage is minor. Even if it would equal to a 10% increase (extremely high and won't happen) you're looking at most 30 more damage from a crit. If that 30 damage is what makes you hold threat on a mob you have much bigger problems.

Shield Oath / Defiance = double enmity of all abilities

Except if you test Shield Oath yourself you will notice that it is not in fact double threat. I believe the testing that was done came out saying it was a 20% increase could be wrong on the number though. Hence the reason any PLD off tanking with Sword Oath can and will pull threat if they just spam their rotation. So this makes STR even more useless to us
