    Rose Gold Melding

    I know, gryphon with all the right melds is better. Problem is that gryphon is a lot more expensive to fully meld with all the right stats (vit & parry are way more expensive than STR, ACC & DEX). On my server it's something like 1mil on 5x VIT4 alone, before you even consider overmelding parry (15-20k each) and maybe crit. This is likely to be exacerbated by my terrible luck with melding so far. Really don't think it's worth spending all of my $$ melding the gryphon (not including farming for tomes) when I could probably get away with Rose Gold and only spending 500k to meld it. This is especially true if 2.2 brings us better crafted gear in a few months.

    Anyhow, if you were to go for the more bargain oriented Rose Gold, how would you meld it?

    Here's what I'm thinking so far:

    (NOTE: STR4 = STR IV for my following notations)

    Ring - VIT 10 PAR 9 ACC 12
    Meld - STR4-DEX3-DEX3-PAR2-STR2
    Goal - cap STR & PAR - add in dex for more parry. I could swap the 2x DEX3 for a DEX4 + CRIT3 but I'm trying to go with the cheap (er) route here and DEX3 is about 1/20th the cost of DEX4/CRIT3 and the 2nd overmeld has been a problem for me thus far.

    Wrist - VIT 10 PAR 9 CRIT 12
    Meld - STR4-ACC3-ACC3-STR2-PAR2
    Goal - cap STR, ACC, PAR

    Ears - VIT 10 CRT 9 PAR 12
    Meld - STR4-DEX4-ACC3-ACC3-STR2
    Goal - cap STR & ACC, add in more dex. May choose DEX3 instead as a budget option.

    Neck - VIT 10 DET 6 PAR 12
    Meld - same as ears
    Goal - same as ears

    Thoughts? Is DEX the most worthwhile option to go for as a secondary stat (for the small boost to parry) or would you choose something else here?
