'Wen considered the nature of time and understood that the universe is, instant by instant, recreated anew. Therefore, he understood, there is in truth no past, only a memory of the past. Blink your eyes, and the world you see next did not exist when you closed them. Therefore, he said, the only appropriate state of the mind is surprise. The only appropriate state of the heart is joy. The sky you see now, you have never seen before. The perfect moment is now. Be glad of it.' Terry Pratchet The Thief Of Time

human for sure is the best race for paladin
It's way to early to say that. We have no idea on their feats etc. We can guess their stat roles based on phb but don't know for sure. I'm sure humans will be a good choice, because they're so general they're a good choice for all classes just like dragonborn are, saying that they're the best choice with absolutely no information behind it is almost deliberately misleading and is very harmful to the community and any new players that might read this. Making absolute statements like that is something that should never be done until we can actually test some builds and even then you will get people arguing it slightly.
also decide if you wanna play PvP or PvE and we dont know if there will be new race or not
Also releasing the metallic dragonborn now ppl are rolling characters with it and will have to buy new character slots to roll paladin when it comes out was also obvious.
Human is only good depending on the feats. Will the extra 3 feat points get you something good?
Otherwise go to would be dragonborn.. but the female customization is kind of lacking.
Control resist doesn't work against daze.
End of story.
1) Human
2) Menzo Drow
3) Dragonborn
4) Sun Elf
That's just me as I play for fun and not to min-max or be a supposed "best."
However, on that note as many do like such and there's nothing wrong with that: I'm leaning towards Dragonborn being very good for a paladin. For they can choose where to put both stats and have nice racial bonuses. Dwarves, Half-Orcs, Half-Elves, and Tieflings also have nice stat bonuses and racials that sound like they may compliment a paladin. However, I am basing this off of PnP D&D as we don't know for a fact yet what their primary and secondary stats will be and how they affect them mechanically.
In short, it's FAR too early to rely on such speculation.

it's quite obvious: either a drow or a tiefling or a halfling
Dwarf has no CC resist:
Stand Your Ground: You have increased resistance to Knock and Repel effects.
Bug: Currently this only appears to function in PVP - monsters always have a 100% chance to knock or repel you if they try. It works in pvp roughly 10% of the time.
Cast Iron Stomach: You have increased damage resistance to Damage Over Time (DoT) effects.
Bug: Appears broken, suffer the same damage from Fire DoT as other races.
Gloom level 60 Control Wizard
Dusk level 60 Trickster Rogue
Dawn level 60 Devoted Cleric
Eclipse level 60 Hunter Ranger
Wrath level 60 Great Weapon Fighter
Jinx level 60 Scourge Warlock
What they give per point above 10:
Con gives +2,5% HP and +0,5% DR
Wis gives +1% Bonus Healing, Crit Chance, Control Bonus and Control Resist
Cha gives +1% Stamina Regen, AP gain, Combat Advantage Damage and Companion Stat Bonus
Others:
Str gives +1% DoT resist
Dex gives +0,5% Deflect Chance and +1% AoE resist
Int gives +1 Recharge Speed
Tier 4 Heroics:
-Each point of Con gives more HP, up to +2,5%, 5 levels
-Each point of Wis gives more Healing, up to +1%, 3 points
-Each point of Cha gives more Crit Chance, up to +1%, 3 points
Human - the benefit from bonus feats is nice, might even be the best race.
Other good races are those getting the best Ability Score bonuses, so: Half-Elf (Con and Cha or Wis), Dwarf (Con and Wis), Tiefling (Cha and Con) and Dragonborn (whatever combo you want) are all good choices.
(no, none of the Ability Scores give bonus damage, just saying beforehand)
With the t4 feats as they are, I'd say that human is best by such a large margin that all other choices are gimp choices at the moment.
Its actually pretty well balanced in my opinion. Yes the human extra 3 are sweet but other races can compensate somewhat for the difference with ability score spreads. Not to mention that 4th tier feat group that the extra feats humans have, the dragonborns naturally get as well (mainly the +3% crit chance). It will all come down to what path you build on.
My advice, dragon born is best for tanking paladins if you have the race. If not then I'd suggest human for sure, though tiefling is definitely viable as well.
For a healing paladin, humans are absolutely the best as no race can mimick the increased heal % that humans can grab on top of the full 5 points in the HP boost feat.
Of course this is only if you want to min max. If not enjoy what you wish, I personally love the notion of a tiefling or half orc paladin trying to overcome others perception of them. Its the stuff of great RP

I disagree, lets look at a prot pally.
Human 20con, 13wis, 13cha.
Going to go with level 60 numbers
Level ups will go in con and wis.
will receive two level ups in cha though at 30 and 60.
That's 5 crit just like dragonborn could get without it. However that discounts several things.
Campfire buff +1cha
Potion of heroism +1cha
Now lets look at artifact belts
The cha one besides power has deflection, the wisdom one has defense. Deflection will likely still be better on this. So another win to cha.
Since the stat curves are going to get harsher, improvements from stats are now even more important.
Human is the best choice +2 con and +5 % crit chance or more healing.

Those are bugged i have MDB and it gives the paladin zero HP boost and zero healing.
So 16-17 mill waisted VS free race human .
I have been playing the Dwarf race for a long time and I can tell you, the dwarf racial is garbage, it doesn't work in PvP or PvE or PvP. Developers need to work on it and give it some love, hell give us a Stone form that is not passive but active like WOW dwarves have (activated, and we can see it in action.).
On a note, Halfling is best PvP race currently,but, because of the high numbers we are seeing with stats and gear in mod 6, that may change in Human's favor (30% deflect being easier to get now for PvP), not to mention sustained damage in PvP being better than burst (because of the health pools 130k).
