FCoB parry block data

[SirTaint]

Only did T10 last night but 28% parry, 26% block rate. (608 parry rating)

So last week was just bad RNG. Pretty much sums up how bad parry is to stack however, its too unpredictable to rely on especially being calculated after blocks.

Some numbers get skewed too... not sure if you are looking at Auto Attacks only from the mobs or all abilities, but also with how long Bulwark Lasts and raises your anticipated Block Rate to 88% during its duration, it really starts killing your average parry rate. Or you said 32%? Maybe I had did my math wrong earlier but I thought the 135 and 130 shields both were 28% with base DEX (need something like an additional 120 DEX over base on gear to raise 4%?), anyways its similar enough for the point I wanted to make.

I can try to remember to save a few parses next week too, I'm inclined to use data only on the main boss and autoattacks only though for what I'd post.

Unpredictable, sure, but that data literally shows you proccing one of the two actions over 50% of the time. That is a full 20% higher than a Warrior can currently even hope to achieve. Even the unlucky data parsed last time was over 40%. As iLvls rise, a Paladin's passive mitigation may get even higher. High to the point of actually being able to rely on it to block the majority of attacks; a "higher" that can only be achieved by stacking Parry.
