Paladins in Tarisland are at their best when they raise their shield, pop a few buffs, and shout, “Get behind me”! Their damage isn’t great when compared to other classes, but they are more than capable of taking a beating.

Paladin gear stats priority in Tarisland

Paladins prioritize blocking (glancing) and damage mitigation over raw power and Strength. Focus on these stats from the left (most important) to the right (least important).

GlancingCooldownStaminaFocusOmniResilience

Glancing is, by far, your most important stat when it comes to tanking, and lowering your cooldown rate will help tremendously with using your abilities. Stamina is necessary for any tank because it increases the amount of damage you can take. Depending on your playstyle, you might also choose to swap Focus with Resilience. But investing more points into Focus is what worked for us best.
