    Only the MT Cleared it others didn't. I was pointing to the fact that if as a MT all you gear up is just Vitality you will throttle your OT damage, I don't expect a Japanese player even if he cleared Twintania twice before me to play up to my 9 years of HM raiding experience. MT can choose to Stoneskin himself if he choose to do so, I can choose to do so too. But in order to do that I must first have a lead in Threat.

    Hence why I say Gryphonskin capability of generating threat in itself can be sometimes more than meets the eye. And he is not really a crappy MT since he switches to Conflagration (Not only on Odd numbered Conflagration) all the time although it is not needed with our DPS which causes me to chase up in Threat too. Hence why I state my point being valid. IF you have 6.4k in PT as a Paladin unless you can beef it up by another 800HP to sustain another Auto Attack the point of hovering at 6.4-6.6k HP is moot as it does nothing really productive as most of the time you should be topped up during the counter and outside of Infirmity debuff.

    Twintania OT as Paladin is just about pushing as much DPS as your MT threat ceiling goes then start providing Stoneskin so Healers don't have to do it and can sustain heal through infirmity debuff. And back to the original purpose of the post, Gryphonskin is your go to to maximize your OT DPS potential, MT using Gryphonskin increases your OT DPS ceiling. Hence both should be using Gryphonskin if survivability is no longer a current concern.

    I can definetely agree on that. But still if you are forced to hold back on DPS as the OT with melded Gryphonskin accessories, the MT even with a full VIT build is not doing his job right. The only situation where I wouldn't blame the MT is if he is missing several main body parts of itemlvl90(that would boost his STR as well). If he has them, there is no reason for the OT to ever get close enough to rip hate off the MT at any point during Twintania.
