Recovery on Paladin

Just a quick question: How important is Recovery for a Protection Paladin?

I am starting to lvl mine to 70, currently lvl66. And I see a lot a armor and things focused on recovery. So should a Paladin focus more on recovery than Armor Penetration and Critical? I know Power and Defense are probably the top 2 stats, but what stats should be focused on after that.

    Armor pen will help you with Templars wrath (hit harder, less mobs needed for full over temp hit points), threat generation, etc... I would see that as being good on bosses where there are no other mods, just a tough guy with a lot of hp.

    You're not really a damage dealer on either spec of paladin, except in certain situations. So I don't really see much point to crit unless you're trying to pull out every ounce of dps you can get out of the character.

    Recovery will help with your cool downs (which you don't need help with) and your ap gain (your daily divine protector should just be dubbed your win button) so yea... I'd say recovery is great but falls off at around 8k. 6k makes tanking easymode. 4K I've seen as fine with ap neck and flail snail...

    Do you have a flail snail?
    If you have a snail, you don't need as much recovery to keep bubble up.

    Are you Justice specced or Bulwark specced?
    If you're Bulwark, you'll need more recovery than Justice. Bulwark doesn't have as many easy ways to recharge AP compared to Justice.

    Also, you shouldn't need to concentrate on Power. The power that you get from gear should be more than enough with your feats boosting power during combat. (I can't remember which feats atm since the game is offline) Obviously, if you have no other stat to concentrate on, then more Power never hurts...

    See I knew that power is typically just a throw away stat, but currently I am sitting at 5krecovery, 3.5k ArP, 9kpower, and ONLY 1kCrit lol. So I don't have any idea if Crit is even useful now, and if I need to redo all of my gear.
