PLD Novus DEX Stat

[Judge_Xero]

You can't add DEX and DEX scales so bad you wouldn't want to if you could.

Aww that's too bad. Since DEX scales a whole lot better than Parry.

As far as I'm aware, DEX works in tiers much like Strength does. Meaning, you get absolutely zero benefit from it until you break a tier. For STR these tiers are about 50 points a piece, whereupon you'll gain a flat 1% damage reduction from blocking and parrying. For DEX, I hear they're about 30, whereupon you'll gain a flat 1% block and parry rate. Parry is currently believed to scale at 0.075% Parry rate per point, meaning that approximately 13 parry is 1% Parry rate and every point means something.

Please provide whatever proof is necessary to show that DEX scales better than Parry.

Dex actually scales way worse than parry and tanks should never use this stat. :P
Parry is a really bad stat. In tests I have done, it does not scale at .075%. it scales quite a bit less.
Go MAN MODE. Crit and Det

I'm tempted to re-test DEX now. I remember it being about a 4% increase to Block Rate from the 45 DEX using Gryphonskin.

Crit and DET? Nah, spec STR and use all DPS accessories.
