Pre-Ochain, I'd have liked a higher parry rate. Post-Ochain, I'd really rather the mobs just hit me. There are very few mobs that it actually hurts to get hit by, and it gives me TP.

You can already parry physical WS. It just shows in the log as a miss. The proc rate is pretty bad though.

The TP bonus upon blocking from shield mastery isn't large, but it is there. And you can block physical WS with a shield already.

On that note, I'd certainly love more tiers of Shield Mastery. More TP per block would be nice.
