crit till 440. rest hp.

Crit/Shield Defense.

The block gives you added abilities, and mitigates damage efficiently.
The crit is better damage-wise than the +Attack Power.
HP is useless if you lose half of it in one hit, so make sure you're using plate and not like cloth/leather just because it has a few life on it. Then again, tossing a nice manastone or two with high life isn't a bad thing.
I don't find accuracy is needed for the most part while leveling.
Evasion isn't something you want, since it will not allow you to block as often, leaving a few of your skills unusable.
Parry isn't that great in Aion. It only removes partial damage, so block is much better.

did you actually test that? I think not.
parry removes a far larger chunk of damage than block does (and isn't wasted when you're 2h'ing), unless you've +10'd a gold shield or something, and even then it's a waste to slot in block stones.
evasion's a more useful stat than shield def even, but I wouldn't go out of my way to stack it. your shield block skills are on a relatively longer cooldown and you can pretty much trigger them whenever you want by flipping on your shield stances temporarily, adding in a few stones won't really do anything either way.

It's really only a tossup between full crit / crit to softcap, rest hp / crit to softcap, mix hp & parry.
