and go all wisdom -- a hie can start with 120 wisdom, @ 60 the 20 or so extra wisdom = a extra heal or celestial cleanse ( hoT ) so you either have 100-200 more hp@ 60 for choosing a dwarf or an extra heal of 543-700hp.
now translate that to soloing/tanking ( you're never gunna be tanking much more than Kunark bosses and entry level velious named, i.e I've tanked mobs like PD, Dracolich, HoT named/ToV Drakes ) so therefore in the long run its better to have extra mana
as a dwarf paladin I stupidly went str/stm but lucky have access to some fine velious loots: my str is around 233 and stm is closing in on 170ish, my wisdom is hurting though and will only break 3k mana once I get a Dwarf Slayer Belt and Silver Bracer of Speed.
Had I rolled a HIE, I would easily see my self having 3k mana already.
I am building my Paladin around a balanced blend: aiming for 5.2k hp, 1.4k+ac and 3k+ mana with aego/fos/stm buffs.
