Dwarf Pally charisma at creation even worth it?

[Stonewallx39]

So just dump starting points into stamina or wisdom (after 5 agi) and use critical resists as an asset?

Charisma gear is reasonably cheap so I'll just have to find some and keep it for when needed.

I wouldn't put points into charisma as a Dwarf. The main reason to pick a Dwarf is to have higher melee starting stats than the other Paladin races. If you dump your points into Charisma, you play away from your strengths while still having less charisma than other options. I favor using gear and buffs to cope with this Dwarven deficiency.

Having put my starting stats in stamina as a dwarf, I would advise putting them in wisdom. Even at level 60, 15 sta is only about 75 extra hp (out of about 3k or more) - plus, with good gear and shaman buffs it's not hard to cap it in raids or even xp groups. Wisdom, on the other hand, is harder to come by on gear that also has good tank stats, and 15 wisdom is enough extra mana to cast a couple extra roots/stuns/flashes before going oom and potentially prevent a death or even a wipe.

wisdom is immensely more beneficial than any other stat for a paladin
