Just looking for a little advice for my youngish Dwarven Paladin. Basically, I'm wondering if anyone has advice on at what point one really sees the deficit in mentals in secondary skill drains/mindstate. I'm tempted to keep all of his mentals around 15 or 18 and pump his strength and agility to work down the RTs on his weapons. That might mean having str and agi near 30 while all his other stats are sitting around 15-18. Is that totally crazy? His old stats were:
Strength : 22 Reflex : 16
Agility : 20 Charisma : 16
Discipline : 18 Wisdom : 23
Intelligence : 18 Stamina : 18
and thus far I've gotten him to:
Strength : 22 Reflex : 15
Agility : 20 Charisma : 10
Discipline : 15 Wisdom : 15
Intelligence : 15 Stamina : 15
TDPs: 1113.
I'm leaning towards Disc, Intel, Wis to 18, cant decide about Charisma, but maybe just pump the rest into Str and Agil to get the reduced RT. That drop from 3/4 to 1/3 for HE and 2HE is huge in terms of training time, given that he needs only weapons for 6 more circles. Does anyone have advice to push me one way or the other? I'd be really, really grateful. After the learning changes, I just don't know what to think of pushing mentals hard early for increased exp drain...
Thanks in advance!

You didn't have a lot to play with, and you didn't really change all that much, yet. Best thing to do is decide where you want to go moving forward. Most folks in prime will tell you to focus on your mentals, but I'm a big believer in strong physical stats especially for guilds like paladins. I'd pump Agility, Reflex, Discipline, and Stamina and leave the others alone for now, but not too long. Get into combat and get circling so you can continue to boost your stats the easy way.

What DGUTHRIE2 said. I'm a little backwards in how I train my stats from a lot of other players: Physicals so I can stay on my feet long enough to train, then mentals. But it works! And I try to keep my stamina over my strength: With strength, I cans wing heavier things. But stamina will keep me from getting worn out, and has very often kept me from dying with some nasty trap that would kill most other people of my circle.
