104 hps may look silly, it is, but it's a big deal if you are trying to be seen serious tanking as a knight. People WILL ask your hps. I only stam cap with a rocksmasher or a shield of the stalwart seas. I have a Prexus totem still.

Basically knights start at about 5k hps raid buffed and end up like low 6k with BiS gear. Every 100hps is a notch of being taken a bit more serious. Unless you rolled a dwarf it's not easy to get there, casually at least. Worst case you cap stamina unbuffed...more hps no matter what and you can optimize better.

Pick whatever you want with those points. STR is great but you can carry less crap or get tink bags. CHA is fun but I have 209 self buffed with a bag of garbage I carry everywhere. Dex is silly (sorry) as is Agility; there are sham buffs that stack with Focus for that. Wisdom and mana are great but when the heal-tank is empty nobody criticizes you for not having mana to heal a rogue. Flash of light is 12 mana...

It's HP's. It always is. You're an aggro tank. Max the hps, spam Flash of Light, that's your role.

A solo paladin? That's easy. Click a DW helm or BP and wear them down. Do that for 60 levels and you beat the game.
