So uh, no parry on either Paladin weapon this time around?

High Allagan Blade gives Crit and Accuracy
Burtang (i110, the ascended relic) gives Det and Accuracy

Meanwhile High Allagan Battle Axe gets a whopping -46- parry with accuracy to boot

Also Conquerer doesn't have Parry, but at least it has Accuracy this time.

The job with a shield has less parry on their weapon than the job with an axe? Please, tell us more.

Where did you get the stats from?

I thought the trade off for having the shield was having less HP, not just getting gear that's decidedly stacked with less valuable stats (Not that Warrior was any better off with the decidedly worse AF+1 set). I'm not crying about it because I doubt it's going to be be a deal breaker, I just don't understand why SE continues to ship weapons (And armor) with these garbage stat layouts - it's not just this scenario either.

That is because you are bad at math.

Welcome to warrior 2.0, we got shafted now it looks like it your turn.

Didn't they say somewhere that you can choose stats for weapons somewhere? I thought it was mentioned on one of the letters or something. Accuracy is good on weapon anyway, you can make up the parry with your gear. A lot of gear does not have accuracy on it, you can't hit something you can't tank something.

I always thought paladin had lower hp pools due to the amount of damage reduction abilities they have. the trade for the shield being lower damage output.

don't know why you would worry about losing parry on one item. I use valor gear which has less parry then their allagan equivalent, did this stop me being able to tank coil nope.

welcome to 2.2 where both tanks did not get shafted. have fun

Losing parry on a weapon is not at all comparable to WAR before 2.1

Paladins get less HP because they flat out take 20% less damage on everything from Shield Oath, it has nothing to do with the cooldowns.

As for parry...keep using your Relic?

For the record, Burtgang is not the Zodiac weapon. It's one of Gerolt's Masterwork weapons, and entirely unrelated. The Curtana Animus (which currently is the highest tier of the Zodiac weapons, and will continue to be upgradeable in 2.25 and 2.3 according to Yoshi-P) does have Parry on it.

paladins get block while we dont. I think its a fair trade since we'll probably need all the parry we can get for coil 2.

Yeah... we definitely need as much parry as possible since we have literally nothing to block with.

I've got to admit, I lol'd. You, sir, have been getting better and better.

Such a small difference you'll never notice.
