Requesting Data for Parry RATE (not amount mitigated)

No. I'm not talking about amount mitigated. It's a flat 20% now. We all know :)

I've looked up and down this past week for an inkling of data on the parry rate and found everything from 44 points = 1% increase to every 10 points = 1% increase. I saw Valk's data, but it was a very quick chart from a long time ago and his primary concern was amount mitigated with STR and Shield Block values.

Can anyone help do some data collection so we can have at least a rough estimate of how much the Parry stat is needed for a 1% increase?

Testing method should be simple. Record a large number of hits, document the number parried. Increase Parry rate by X, repeat process. I suggest increments of 10 if possible to keep things neat, but do whatever is easiest for you.

EDIT : Forgot to mention, do a zero additional Parry sample for a baseline.

EDIT #2 : Remember to remove all magic attacks and all DODGEs from your attack count - only physical attacks should count towards the parry rate.

will do it the next time i'm going online (so probably this evening)

Bump. Anyone?

Why not do it yourself?

I do think the general consensus in 3.0 is about ~40 points per 1% increase in parry rate.

I was kinda bored and didn't feel like leveling.

354 Parry(Base)

Tsanahale: 1,201 Swings, 1,097 Hits, 104 Misses, 62 parries, 0 block(no shield)
( 62 parries / 1,097 hits ) * 100 = 5.652% parry rate

456 Parry
Tsanahale: 376 Swings, 349 Hits, 27 Misses, 18 Parries, 0 block(no shield)
oops I killed it
Tsanahale #2: 561 Swings, 507 hits, 54 misses, 38 parries, 0 block(no shield)

Tsanahle Total: 937 Swings, 856 Hits, 81 Misses, 56 parries, 0 block(o shield)
( 56 parries / 856 hits ) * 100 = 6.542% parry rate

Parry Rate Dif: 6.542% - 5.652% = 0.89%
Parry Dif: 456-354 = 102

+102 parry over base resulted in a parry rate increase of 0.89%

Of course it's only a small sample size, but those numbers aren't looking good for those parry princesses out there.

I'll grant the results could be anomalous but I didn't honestly think it could be THAT bad. Why does this stat exist?

There's no need to try to turn this into a petty us vs them scenario and insult people.

Didn't mean it as an insult. You have something against princesses?

I told everyone the stat was like 4% for 500. Nobody believed me...

zzzz 310 swings, 20 misses, 34 parries, 11% Parry PCT...and im still getting hit but bored leaving FFXIV on in the background.

edit: 681 swings, 75 parries, 49 misses, 11% parry pct

Edit 2: 970 swings, 74 misses, 105 parries 11% Parry PCT
Will update when this reaches 1000+ hits but been sitting at 11/12% Parry for eons zzzz Wonder if FFXIV will log me out if I leave to go pick up some chinese food, I assume paralysis wont decrease my parry rate.



514 Parry.

Done with that crap, now gonna do it again with more Parreh
