well high elves have the worst str, dex and stamina starting stat. but the best wisdom and decent agility.

but if you take it to end game gear i dont think it will really matter.

IMO you guys are making it way too complicated. Just pick whatever race you think looks the coolest. Min/maxing doesn't matter, you chose to roll a Paladin so it's already assumed you don't care about that.

but as a tank class there is a big difference between the starting stats of each race. which can give a large advantage.

Not for Paladins there isn't. Race just doesn't matter all that much for this class. The best tank-type race available to Paladins--Dwarves--pales next to races like Ogres or Trolls. None of the Paladin races have fancy advantages like Regeneration or frontal bash immunity or Slam. Dwarves are the best available, but not by much, with Humans and Half-Elves making fair alternatives for folks who don't want to be short. High Elves and Erudites are a bit worse, but it still isn't a big deal aside from probable issues with encumbrance for folks without some +strength gear. A few races have access to some quests the others don't get, but the factions are overall similar, they level at the same speed, and in essence any Paladin plays pretty much like any other Paladin. Pick the one you think looks the best because that's by far the most significant difference between them.

Paladins are hindered by race choices compared to other tank classes. Paladins can be Dwarf, Erudite, Human, Half-elf, and High Elf. Tunare Paladins are scumbags. Shadowknights have Ogre/Troll/Iksar to consider from a min-max perspective, and Troll/Ogre starting stats crush Paladin race choices. We got hosed on racial choices compared to other tanks.

Basically Dwarf is the best because of their starting stats, barrel roll, being small, and being elite. Erudite is semi-cool because Prexus is a pretty cool god and they are rare. Humans have amazing staches.

The Tunare sword is cool looking and all, but the epic is better and not too hard to obtain. There are a lot of ToV knight weapons and the Darkmetal Falchion from hate is pretty legit and easy to loot. Even the Tunare Paladins admit they only use their dumb 2her to look cool. But being an elf is already a net negative on looking cool despite wielding a baller sword.

?

wisdom is the best stat for a paladin, it's very hard to max that as a non high elf unless you have high end raid gear

str/dex/agi are easily maxed through buffs as any paladin race

stamina is fairly easy to max as a plate class, but like i said, stamina isn't as good as wisdom for a paladin

Let's not forget that High Elves also get a cat mask, putting them streets ahead of the competition.

I wouldn't recommend Erudite if you want to win fashion quest, their velious gear has several graphic bugs and looks awful

Lies! Look at this fashionquest winner!
