Just saying that these numbers don't mean as much as you think it does. The means of measurement is flawed and the results are unreliable. I'm not arguing against your stance on Parry vs Det/Crit because, as I said, I agree with the point you are trying to make. Just not your means of proof.

On top of all this, the merits of Parry vs Det/Crit/SS go a lot deeper than simply your personal damage dealt and damage taken, but I think I'll stop right here for now.
Like I said, you have a very valid point. I don't disagree with what you said in the least either man. We can chat in game some about it too, but I dunno if there ever will be an accurate way to measure this. In the end, I feel though that I will be saying good bye to parry until I start getting hit for 3K consistently. =P
