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.

Fair enough.
I never played at max lvl.
So my experience and reasoning was a little diff. I think it's easy to get gear with either some sta/str on it and definitely leveling, especially if done from scratch agi probably makes a noticeable difference in downtime.
But you're right in a raid it's going to be like 140 from buffs alone maybe.
Not needing charisma naked just incase does seem nice but pallies can also carry invis pots and since they sorta are stuck binding in cities they won't really have to go out of their way for like 4 or 5 instant click invis. But yeah ur going to want at least a crude stien or something inur bags.
I look at it this way. Solo or grp play, whatever is going to be a hard stat to raise. Charisma and dex have sorta both lower ac options.
I'm going to want my stats in the 120-130 range soloing by 55+, by then enchanters can aug, druids str. Shamans will easily cap anyone.
It sucks getting low hp then getting chunked cuz agi is 67... and 20 points would have put it up more near 80. It is dropping to 67 for me with 90 agi. So I reckon 98 agi or 99 would avoid that. I don't have any agi gear right now.
It used to be 100 sta, then the rest agi/dex. Idk keeping stats even is probably the power move.
If someone asked me how many hp I had id probably laugh at them. You're probably right tho.... also yeah it's more like 104 or 102 hp. I did my math poorly.
Lulls won't crit resist as often on greens so for stuff a pally might do to just chill isn't going to be a big deal cha wise.
20 wis gives nice returns on the number of roots u can cast. Maybe 1 extra heal. Tho end game heals are pretty efficient. Pally gets their own uber hot.
Cha is definitely useful.
Dex is nice..... but idk. The sweet spot for dex is really easy to achieve too from a single buff.
A lot of really nice pally gear isn't like super high agi.
Str is great while leveling but at like 210 offense if u ever hit 60 you'll only need 160 str buffed to get the x5 dmg multiplier from str. Planar gear and like a hero bracer and dwb and stuff will getchya there.
Finally a lot of times you'll favor resists over any other stats. So having decent base str, or agi isn't too shabby there. Idk sta is nice then too.
Lull is great but Pallies can root to help split and kills can be staggered. I never relied 100% on lull. Not without a backup or escape and reset plan.
Your advice is pretty sound but also so is sorta everyone's by my logic at that point it comes down to how ya feel and what #makes ya feels good.
Obviously eru/dwarf 75 agi is 100% viable. So. @op don't fret too much? You can literally play around Eru going all in on INT lol with a single piece of agi gear.
GL!
Root is best spell in game, dw clicky heal is crazy good too and totally common and affordable on blue/green.
