Casual High Elf paladin - starting points where?

[Vallanor]

I wouldn't stress about starting stats too much. I put a lot of points into STR as an erudite paladin and really haven't regretted it. It was great throughout my leveling experience, even if it's kinda wasted now that I have some decent gear. I'd be like 1% more awesome if I'd put my points into a better stat, but leveling untwinked would have been rough.

That said, WIS followed by STA seems to be the min-maxer's choice, especially if you'll be twinking with some +STR gear to start. I'd probably say WIS if you want to min-max, but if you're not sure, maybe split between STA and WIS? I don't think either choice will make or break you.
