21k Defense is about average for pally’s nowadays, no need to do anything special just equip some high defense gears such as Fortitude, Enigma, and for shields Exile or Up’d Hoz. Afters gears are sorted, Holy shield and/or Defiance will do the rest.
The following builds I am aware that hit 7k + dmg (Well most do anyway) Include: Hammerdians (Prolly not cause you want one that “hitsâ€), Smiters, Zealers ect. Check out the Pally Guides up on top within this section of the forums if you are interested in any of these or other Paladin builds. I am assuming you are making a pvp?
Stats would solely depend on the type of build you plan to make, however within today’s pvp society, PUMPING vitality is extremely popular and effective
