I am strongly considering in investing time to grind the philo to make an entire gryphonskin accessory set. Each item can be socketed with 10 vit and 8 parry. Initially I would be -45 parry but with melds I will make up 32. But the total benefit would be +36 str and +36dex.

My biggest concern is at what point is stacking VIT no longer the best option? I heard about some tanks striving for 240 dex with melds for some block/parry wall, but I have yet to find hard statistics on this. I am downing turn 4 np, I am just interested in maximizing my potential moving into turn 5.
