Paladin BiS Accessory Reddit Discussion

I think the issue with the debate is that it is coming from two different bases.

Those endorsing str/dex are suggesting that you have already overgeared the content.

Before coil, your choices are Darklight <item> of Fending or Gryphonskin. The Gryphonskin is just plain better, in every way. No contest. So the first time you step into Coil, Gryphonskin are the best you have available.
Once you have cleared all of Coil, Gryphonskin are still the best available.

Vitality is probably going to be best due to helping in the worst case scenario, or fights such as turn 2 where you cannot block/parry any of the attacks.

Bad example. Turn 2 is a DPS race (a slow one, but still) where your tanks generate reduced threat due to a buff that ADS can get. Having Gryphonskin will help immensely here, especially if you're running with one or more Paladins, and if you're tank swapping correctly, you really shouldn't be getting killed.
