Anyone know the effects of choosing different traits?

<DIV>I'm always comparing equal level paladins from hit points to att/def stats ect and I have noticed some large differences in stats even with virtually the same equipment. So I got to wondering if anyone has kept track of how much of a benefit choosing strength vs stamina, defense vs anything else. I know I am always way behind in hit points and defense since I chose strength (wish I hadn't now). Any one have something to share to help future pallys?</DIV>

I've noticed hardly any difference regarding traits. It's very gear based. I generally have better gear than other paladins my level and therefore have better AC/ATK/HP/PP etc.Without gear it would then revert to races and traits. But if you are a paladin without gear then you are heading down the wrong path already. The class you picked is item-centric, you are nothing without your gear regardless of buffs/stats/traits whatever.Oh and I picked Nimble (AGI) and I'm glad I went with that decision. I've had people buff my STR close to 170 but my AGI tends to stay the same and I'd rather hit the mob more often than miss 50 times and land one blow for 300.
