Parry...

[Casper]

When I say DPS gear, I meant to say DPS Fending gear, and it is in Shield Oath that I gain 30 DPS going from Parry to Crit/Det. Sword Oath, I tend to hit the 185 DPS mark in the Drit/Det set.

My groups Warrior does keep Storms Eye up.

Ok everyone! Results are in! Here are my Parse logs from tonight's T7 Clear, and my first T7 Clear on Sunday.

Damage taken on Turn 7 169,119 in Parry gear. (564 Parry, ilvl 94)
Damage taken on Turn 7 173,978 in Crit/Det Gear. (479 Parry, ilvl 93)

Damage Dealt on Turn 7 64,879 in Parry gear. (564 Parry, ilvl 94)
Damage Dealt on Turn 7 73,719 in Crit/Det gear. (479 Parry, ilvl 93)

I will GLADLY take 4859 damage to gain a level 1 limit break every 6 minutes.

Am i corrent in assuming that this is with dps fending gear too ? Which means there was also a 1k max hp difference ? Or was it just by optimizing parry or not optimizing it ?

This was Optimized Parry vs Optimized Crit/Determination, but all the gear is Paladin/Warrior Fending/Noct. Every piece has Vitality on it.

Both of my runs I showed data for made no sacrifices for Strength in any way. Vitality is my primary stat while raiding.

If you want a gear piece list, I will provide it later on, but the only important numbers are my Parry Rating in each set.

So a 85 increased in summed up crit and det made you win 15% dps (since you lost 85 parry i assume you won that in other secondaries) ? I'm sorry, i don't want to be rude or insulting, but i have a hard time seeing how this could be. Would be interested in the gear list indeed. As said, not insulting or anything, just very curious because i can't seem to find where the dps difference could come from. Everything indicate that you need at the very least 30 secondary stats to increase dps by 1% (and probably closer to 45 most of the time).
