AFAIK, the whole "Tiers" thing has been debunked.

The whole theory about STR tiers for Parry was completely based on the "X% Parried" that pops up on your scrolling combat text when you get hit. Someone tested it with various amounts of STR, and concluded that STR's effect on Parry DR% is tiered.

However, they didn't take into account the likelihood that the "X% Parried" simply rounds the true amount parried to the nearest %. There is absolutely no conclusive evidence that STR's effect on Parry is tiered and there's no reason to believe that it isn't linear. Every other stat is linear and no other stat is tiered.

All we know is that 40-41 STR equates to ~1% Parry DR.
