    It costs a lot, but is a much better option in terms of stat gains than just plain trading 30 VIT for 30 STR. Plus you can always just swap back to +VIT accessories if you ever need more HP.
    So don't redistribute your points, and instead save your gil if you want to make that kind of tradeoff...
    I still can't recommend stacking DEX/STR over VIT but if you want to do it, this is the best advice I've seen. It's 5 VIT per slot to go from ilvl90 to HQ crafted, and they're expensive as hell, but it's much easier to swap as you need than to adjust attribute points. That and 30 VIT for 30 STR on attribute points is much less efficient than 25 VIT for 45 STR and 45 DEX on accessories. Just make sure you meld 10 VIT into each one =p

    (Yes it's 5 Vit per accessory, so 25 Vit total, not 15!)

    Total (assuming BIS gear) is 25 Vit and 15 Parry lost, and 45 STR, 45 DEX, 19 Acc, 16 Crit, 32 Det and 7 SS gained.
    When I last ran the numbers, that basically equated to trading ~5% HP for ~18% WS and ~27% Autoattack damage for an i90'ed Paladin.

    Personally I'm not convinced it's worth the money at the moment, but if we ever get meldable i80 or i90 gear......
