First time playthrough Paladin, recommended stats?

[SubOptimalUser]

Hello!

Got all the DLC for Christmas and after a long time owning and attempts i will now finally go all in for a full playthrough.

Planning on playing on normal as a human kind wayfarer, mercenary background from the living lands.

Cursory reading recommends perception for all classes and a bit stuck between these three stat blocs:

Mig 16    Mig 16      Mig 16

Con 12    Con 12    Con 13

Dex 10    Dex 10    Dex 10

 Per 10    Per 12     Per 10

 Int 12     Int 12       Int 13

Res 18    Res 16     Res 16

What would you guys recommend? What gives me the most content/conversation options and such? Was planning on switching between Estocs and pollaxes for utility.

 

Any opinions?

The variance in those attribute spreads will make almost no difference in combat.
If I had to pick one it would be the rightmost because INT influences the AoE size of White Flames. RES 16 is enough for most dialogue (and you can add an intem with bonus RES, too).

Estoc and Pollaxe is generally a good pick for Paladins, especially if you also take Coordinated Attacks and later get the Blade of the Endless Paths (unique Estoc) and Spectacular Spetum (Pollaxe). Both have Marking which stacks with Coordinated Attacks. So you can give stackable +20 accuracy to a party member who attacks the sme target as you which can be really helpful.

In case of Kind Wayfarer however dual wielding is a good alternative because every strike of Flames of Devotion + White Flames (it's a Full Attack, so both weapons will strike) will trigger a healing. That's two healing procs instead of one. It's not that important though - Flames of Devotion has only 2 uses per encounter.
