HQ gryphonskin are better then the HQ rose gold. HQ rose gold has 9 pary and you can meld 12 parry in to the gryphonskin and same HP. You also can add 4 determination. my gryphonskin goes 8 vit 6 parry 6 parry 4 determination 2 vit for my melds. then you get 9 str 9 dext 12 acc and 9 skill speed. All of hte dps accessories end up being better when melded for tanking then the tanking ones.
