Change "+Parry" to Riposte!

I have a ton of parry but it doesn't seem to help all that much. Riposte is a parry that also attacks the target, using your 'auto-attack" damage.

When you riposte, you parry the attack and then attack the target.

Strength should add more damage to riposte or make riposte's potency for damage reduction higher.

The issue with parry is this.

Its only ever used with tanking. It does NOTHING when you are off tank, ontop of that--its rng, and would promote more strength stacking. What I honesty want to see is

Parry is removed for 'Survival'

Survival reduces damage received based off class

All 3 tank classes get an effect for survival that kicks in while they are in their tank stance, and when in their dps stance (or lacking it, in the drks case).
I.E
Shield Oath: Increases damage reduction from blocks
Sword Oath: Increases auto attack speed (based off survival). Auto attack crits have a chance to regen tp.

Vengeance: Increases damage reduction from parry
Deliverance: Critical Strikes apply a bleed. Bleed stacks up to X times. Bleed damage based off survival.

Grit: Increase damage reduction from parry
No Grit: Attacks have a chance of restoring 50% of mana or tp used. Chance based off survival.

No stance/Non Tank: Survival increases the chance you will parry an attack (per current).

Parry could also lower the penalty of tank stances.

But Faytte, that would be fun and promote the use of Tank accessories D=

Parry could also give you damage reduction when your "not" in tank stance, and give riposte when you are.

Can't make an auto-riposte feature because it would mess with things like Spiny Plume (must *not* kill the target even though it attacks you) & might have issues with things like Sleep (target attacks, half-way through attack animation hit with Sleep, Riposte triggers and wakes it up with damage)

By the time you get high parry gear you already out level content like that. Also, if the target is sleeping it can't attack you.
