Xeno's Warrior Tanking Guide

[Xenosys]

Yea I am not 100% on the returns parry gives. When I did my tests on average i only gained about 1% per 100. Maybe I didnt test enough? Or perhaps incorrectly? Regardless of that, if you stack parry over SS you obviously will parry more. But accomplishing what exactly? Trying to make things easier on the healers is a good argument and one I often hear, but it is flawed because of the Tanking Meta. It would be different if tanks were getting destroyed hit after hit but that isnt the case in game.The bosses "tickle you" until the mechanic damage, then back to a pillow fight. Ill even take it a step further and say if they completely removed Parry from the game I would not see a game breaking difference or play any differently for that matter. So my mentality is.... It ultimately does not matter if you block or parry because you will already have prepared for if you didnt. So... I will not stack a stat that does not matter. Then again I play WAR, not PLD. War do not tank at all like PLD. Way, way.... too many people play WAR like they are PLD. The two tanks, while balanced extremely well, tank in two different styles. I think a lot of people are forgetting that about warriors. They are not a traditional tank and should not be played that way. Warriors are much more reactive and requiring a higher skill cap. Not saying PLD are bad, they are amazing with awesome CD. But lets all be honest with ourselves here, almost anyone can play a PLD and be decent. PLD is 1-2-3 easy mode. This is not the case for warriors. Or it could be, maybe Im just bad at PLD haha
