PLD Novus: Parry or DET?

[Donjo]

Thank you both for your answers.

@Donjo yeah with Acc capped I'm a bit more free to do what I want with gear and Parry Vs DET don't bother me that much but the people who I seemed to have the discussion with made it seemed like you have Parry your shit.

@Sirtaint I always find parry to be handy for Physical attacks. Don't suppose you can go into more detail as to why it's more useful?

I'm currently trying to fight the entire notion that any Secondary Stat is "wasted" or "shit", because they're largely superfluous and have actually become less relevant with each iLvl jump.

I can also speak for Sir Taint as to why Det is "always useful". The gist of the matter is that something that adds damage to your attacks will always apply no matter what you're doing with it. Whether you're actively tanking an enemy or not, you'll be dealing more damage. Parry, conversely, has two major situations where it does nothing for you at all: if you're being attacked by magic and if you aren't tanking something. Thus, it can be said that Determination is more useful because it's always doing something to help you.
