I'm equally surprised RUN did not get the highest tier of Tactical Parry either. That crown still belongs to DNC at tier IV, yet receives its first tier at lvl 40 long before any of the others do.I'm quite surprised that we didn't get Perfect Parry. But then I'm also surprised that THF hasn't had Perfect Evade either so maybe no perfect parry isn't so surprising. (based around the same idea as perfect counter).
IMO Perfect Parry would be quite sufficient to give RUN the edge that it needs in taking phys damage. Especially with the extra parrying skill and traits that it has, and a not-too-shabby evasion, combined with Swordplay (which will no doubt feature boosts with AF gear and merits in the next update).
PP would give the needed guaranteed opportunity to recast a buff, be it a native buff, or utsusemi: ichi when /nin for example. Alternatively, since parry can proc on TP moves.... ^^ (this is most likely the reason that neither THF nor RUN has had these JAs).
Samurai Archery is said to be a thing of the past, but it isn't dead yet!
