Lorraine is correct, if you're minmaxing a Paladin build STA is best, there's really no contest. But, base stats don't matter all that much. If you care that much about minmaxing your build you should probably pollute the server with yet another of those ugly and annoying dorfs. But, again, base stats don't matter all that much. Otherwise, do as you please and have fun with it! (In case my bias isn't obvious enough, I'll point out that my main's a Half-Elf Paladin with 10 points "wasted" in WIS to raise it to 75.)

SotM is definitely an excellent tanking weapon tho, decent ratio for melee threat and that nice agro proc is a huge help when mana regen is unavailable or you're fighting mobs with a mana-drain proc. Rod of Faith is cool and all with its oh-so-sexy 24/32 ratio, but be sure to have a Sword of the Morning in hand when tanking at 50+ (or epic if you have it and the mobs are easy enough you don't care about shield AC.) | |||

Biased Cptn Obvious is biased. I don't think anyone advocated him to roll dwarf or gtfo here. People are simply presenting him with options. The only reason you see so many dwarves running around is because their cultural armor is simply overpowered. And they probably like barrel rolls.
SoTM is excellent on any stunable mob, period. Doesn't have to be mana-drain, HP-drain, endurance drain. If it can be stunned, then it will do its job. Stun isn't just a good agro building spell or proc. It is damage avoidance (interrupt channeling/prevent melee swings/prevent ripostes) and a DPS increase (stunned mobs can't parry/dodge). And then there's always the bracer as a last-resort threat generation resource. Quote:
Now that I mention that, let me double check in case I get called on it. Yeap, still has AC on it.
