Whats the best way to "tank" so to speak. At what point does Stamina have a diminishing return?

As far as I know, stamina doesn't really have a diminishing return like mentals do with exp. However, the way mechanics work, reflex is really the best stat for defense overall. I'd probably focus on reflex/stamina/discipline in that order for maximum defense.

Thanks!
Odd though that my Halfling is more pre-disposed to being a take stat wise then a Tog. I was considering rolling a tog pally.. now not so sure.

Yea I'd agree with that. In the sense of 'tanking' reflex is where the money is, more so than stamina.

Sorry been playing a lot of Diablo II recently. Just seems funny. But makes since, in DR you don't want to take hits. In Diablo your going to take hits, you want to be able to take more of them.

By the way, don't forget to rotate your stances so that you train evasion as efficiently as possible. I didn't do this very well in my younger days.

My guy has about 90 stamina. I wish I would have spent the points on reflex instead and capped it out at 70. It does help, dont get me wrong, but not as much as reflex IMO.

Well luckily being a Half-er, I have perks to both. I think I will leave Stamina where it is then. Is there a stat/tdp planner out there that calculates racial adjustments?

Yes. However, I have no idea where I got it.

So I uploaded it for you:
