    I do not mean to attack you, but if you do not have a clue about which stats are important/more important in combination with others, you may want to consider playing a different Class.
    For a PLD, historically, the widely accepted BiS stuff has always first met accuracy cap, and then focused on Parry and Vit. That being said, I haven't looked enough at the weapons/gear to see if accuracy is needed on the weapons, nor have I made a BiS list this go round. I was more just pointing out that getting Parry over say.. Crit or Determination has always been the choice. The only time it wouldn't be is if you were having trouble holding aggro, and for some reason needed more dps to do so.

    Also, with dungeons in DF, regardless of what gear you wear, you're gonna be fine if you have the high ilvl stuff. So saying "you're a bad tank cause you go for x stat" is just you being a jerk. A dumb jerk considering the stats you mentioned are two of the most sought after for a PLD.

    The thing is, You can make up the other stats elsewhere but you can't make up weapon damage anywhere.

    Without looking at the rest of the gear, and without using the weapon.. I can't say whether or not the parry on the weapon would be more useful than the extra threat/damage a higher weapon damage would provide. It may not be about making the stat up. It's probably more along the lines of "you get the parry on the weapon or you don't get the parry on the weapon" and weighing between the two. Dismissing weapons with Parry just because they're lower ilvl, or because other weapons have higher dps stats is just as dumb as assuming that just because a weapon has Parry it's automatically going to be BiS... which was kinda my point.
