Paladin BiS list?

Wow, you totally didn't include the other reasons why Gryphonskin Ring is better. Good job. How about that extra STR? What's people with Paladins. They're a mitigation-based tank for a reason. If you want to max out on VIT, go Warrior.

And you'd go two Gryphonskin Ring HQs to max out what you can. ;____; With that amount of accuracy you can go Valor Gauntlets.

If you are seriously trying to tell me that Allagan Ring > Gryphonskin Ring HQ melded, you're absolutely crazy.

Um...what does 9 STR do for a tank? Or 18 for that matter? All PLD's as far as I know also go for a 30 VIT build, not a 30 STR build.

Unless you have some numbers about how STR affects tanking, there is a reason why people say go for a 30 VIT build, rather than a 20 VIT/10 STR build, or 30 STR build. Perhaps you can post your optimal Gryphonskin Ring HQ melded stats (I did take mine off a Reddit thread after all), and then you can re-run the same calculations again. The numbers are up there for you to look at. You can make a decision based on the numbers.

2x Gryphonskin Ring HQ + Valor Gauntlets gives you 24 Accuracy total, and 45 Parry.
Allagan Fend/Hero Fend + Allagan Gauntlets gives you 37 Accuracy total, and 42 Accuracy.

I am not crazy, I am drunk. But I can still see that unless you have at least 13 Accuracy over the Turn 5 Accuracy cap of 482, that 3 Parry isn't worth it. Unless you are content with a 477 Accuracy cap for Turn 4, which means even with food, you will miss a few attacks in Turn 5.
