Paladins are the main tanks of the game, and when geared right and with the proper stats will be awesome!
Stat Builds:
Vit/Int/Dex/remaining to Str - This build is the perfect tank with some Damage dealing capabilities. Shrugs off physical and Magical attacks. Vit/Dex/Str/remaining to Int - The pure Damage Paladin, but weaker to magic attacks.
Gears and Crystals:
Special Sword such as Catskinner is necessary, until Catskinner is released make Int your main Damage stat and use a Magic Sword. Gear should be focuses on Damage reduction, and Hp+%. Plate Mail is the absolute Best armor to use. Avoid Kaise Pilz crystals though as the negative resistances hurt more then the Hp is helpful. Also Damage Relfection can be nice to reflect some Damage back, to obtain a great Slotted Special Equip for Paladin(Mp Consumption+100% and Damage Reflection+5%) simply do Mission quests until mission before Matadora as an Adventurer.

Why Dex for "perfect tank"? No PLD so I don't really know what works for them, but would like one, "one day". Wouldn't AGI for EVA work too? Or do PLD want to get hit (some kind of counter, maybe?)?

DEX = add base atk, add hit rate n help reduce delay for provoke AGI = add aspd (not needed for skill spammer) n add eva (not recommended, coz pally have stun parry skill which mean u need to be hit) So overall, pally doesnt need agi

pally best build is max vit max int then dex this is and always been what is pure build pally is other stats can be effective but the higher lv you get the less effective they become after 160 you get guardian and your atk is based on your vit so by that points to str is a waste and it gives you agi so once again any points to agi has been wasted thats why you need dex it adds to your atk and hit and make guardian cool down faster so you can spam it

I, personally, don't waste a ton of stat points into INT. Even though it gives me MP and MDEF, Fortis also offsets elemental damage. In my opinion, with the new skills(Divine Aura, Limit Break, MP Cost Down, Priere 3, etc..) capping INT is a waste of stat points. I went with something completely well-rounded so I could have overall versatility.
VIT(256)No Duh》INT(125)》DEX(256)》STR(currently at like 70+?)
You need DEX. DEX is your cooldown for Guardian; Guardian is how you keep hate. Provoke never works for me; I usually just use it once to jump back onto the threat meter then Guardian blast it. STR also goes into the threat-generation category, and does make a noticeable difference in damage and threat. Bishops can't keep you alive if they take aggro. You also can't DPS dead.
You can add more INT to your liking, but(like I said) with the new skills I found it unnecessary.
I've also used like... 5 Stefly's Books balancing stats to what I like and this was my end result.

The mentioning to be an Adventurer through Matadora is so you can get the slotted ring from MQ. If you play as a Mage-type, you can get a slotted Wisdom Earring(-5% MATK, +5% MDEF) which is pretty nice too.

I had the understanding that guardian skill Is not reduced by dex. Can you confirm that you can do 1 sec guardian with no skill delay gear because I have had 1sec guardian before I had any dex. It only took me an exelis up to do this.

Honestly, Im doing much better. I have better guardian dmg which makes me solo bosses faster.

I'm not sure if I was doing 1 second Guardians before I capped DEX, since I did DEX and had my Excelis at the same time. However, DEX does add damage to special swords, so I just went with it. There's supposed to be an armour coming out called a Lich Armour, which is supposed to be super awesome for Paladins. I'd like that once it comes out.
Since levels are getting so high, I decided to omit INT first, however. With other skills, it's not a necessary stat.
(Let me add an edit once I've taken my excelis up off. Sec.)
When I add my excelis back on, my Guardian goes faster. In fact, when I add my Wolf Ears, my Guardian goes EVEN FASTER compared to just DEX alone. However, we still do have other annoying skills we need to do in the middle of boss fights. When a boss wipes, I have to smack Guard as quickly as possible and Warcry if there's no Gladiator. More down time with buffs = higher chance to lose threat. Your VIT》STR build is valid, as well, so I'm not dismissing it. My Paladin does about 1k less damage than you between the two specs(remember, I also do have a LITTLE INT), but I'm happy with the balance I've achieved with my spec in speed, mitigation/survivability, and threat generation. In fact, I'm starting to add STR now with my levels between 230-235.
