I'm going to step through each position and discuss whats going through my head in comparing gear I picked, the stuff tuft listed, and the felsteel that GG meantioned.
Head
Helm of the Righteous
946 Armor
54 Stamina
24 Intellect
23 spell damage
6 mp5
25 defense
5% Stun resist
X-52 Technician's Helm
875 Armor
36 Stamina
16 Strength
16 Intellect
36 spell damage
6 mp5
16 defense
Felsteel Helm
1284 Armor
51 stamina
9 spell damage
33 defense
+4 hit rating
or (depending on socketing)
1284 Armor
45 stamina
15 spell damage
33 defense
+4 hit rating
X-52 looks like the weakest, though since its a quest reward it may be what I end up with till I get the others (though I think we have extra felsteel helms floating around so not sure about even that). It does have more spell damage, but the loss of stamina, defense, and armor hurts it in my mind. I like the armor and increased defense on felsteel, but the added damage, int, and stamina on righteous makes me lean towards it. It has plenty of defense as well I think and so the trade off seems decent to me. One big question that I'm unsure of is how much to weigh armor into things. Felsteel has 338 more armor which is a good amount more for one item. I can't judge how important that is though so I may be undervalueing it.
Shoulder
Spaulders of the Righteous
873 Armor
34 Stamina
22 Intellect
25 spell damage
23 defense
I don't think there is really another choice here. Kaylaan's would be an option till I get them, but I don't think they really compare.
Chest
Jade-Skull Breastplate
1164 Armor
30 Strength
50 Stamina
25 defense
23 block rating
Breastplate of the Righteous
1164 Armor
48 Stamina
28 Intellect
2 mp5
33 spell damage
24 defense
I was originally thinking the Block Rating would make jade skull worth using, but looking at these two now I'm starting to wonder about that. Righteous has only 2 less stam, but has int, mp5, spell damage, and 1 more defense. So its quite possible that I'll end up going for righteous here. I do oh so like the idea of block rating though so I'm slightly torn here.
bracer
Sha'tari Wrought Armguards
509 Armor
20 Strength
27 Stamina
16 defense
Thadell's Bracers
448 Armor
12 Intellect
21 Stamina
16 spell damage
9 defense
This one is a little tough. 6 stamina, 7 defense, 61 armor, 20 strength vs 16 spell damage and 12 int. Currently I'm leaning towards thadell's, but its very very close.
gloves
Gauntlets of the Chosen
728 Armor
30 Stamina
15 Agility
35 defense
Felsteel Gloves
943 Armor
39 Stamina
10 spell damage
3 Parry
25 defense
Gauntlets of the Righteous
728 Armor
22 Stamina
20 Intellect
21 spell damage
7 mp5
10 defense
Spiritualist's Gauntlets
623 Armor
27 Stamina
20 spell damage
5 mp5
17 defense
Looking at these choices I'm really starting to lean towards Felsteel. They have the best armor and stamina. Plus they have second best defense and some spell damage. So they really do look like the way to go to me now. This also frees me up in choosing aldor or scryer. Leaving me having no clue which way to go again.
belt
Sha'tari Vindicator's Waistguard
655 Armor
33 Stamina
20 block value
20 defense
24 block rating
Lightwarden's Girdle
622 Armor
14 Intellect
30 Stamina
28 spell damage
23 defense
Another choice between spell damage and block rating. I'm really unsure about this one since all the stats are so close together. One thing to consider though is that Lightwarden's requires aldor rep. Currently I'm leaning towards Sha'tari, but its very close for me.
legs
Legplates of the Righteous
1019 Armor
27 Stamina
24 Intellect
10 mp5.
28 spell damage
26 defense
Felsteel Leggings
1257 Armor
57 Stamina
10 spell damage
4 Dodge
37 defense
The huge stamina on felsteel makes me seriously consider taking it. It does also have a little spell damage though not as much as righteous. The big lose is in int and mp5, but it does have more defense and armor as well. I think I might go with felsteel though since I always feel like paladins are too low on stamina and this helps with that.
boots
Flesh Beast's Metal Greaves
680 Armor
25 Stamina
18 defense
28 dodge
Starcaller's Plated Stompers
722 Armor
14 Intellect
21 Stamina
16 spell damage
13 defense
I'm thinking maybe the starcaller's are better since they have more armor, int, and spell damage. Less defense and stamine, but not a huge amount less in either case. The dodge on flesh beast's is interesting and could make them better, but I'm currently leaning towards starcaller's.
So what does that give in total if I go with the options I was leaning towards
7008 Armor
100 Intellect
307 Stamina
133 spell damage
176 defense
4 Dodge
20 block value
24 block rating
3 Parry
8 mp5
5% Stun resist
not counting weapon, shield, trinkets, rings, libram, talents, or base stats
edit: apparently not counting a neck piece either
edit 2: and a cloak...man I forgot lots of slots. : )
