PLD Novus: Parry or DET?

[Lavieh]

My personal feelings on the matter are as stands. As a tank, my job is to keep hate and soak damage. Anything past that is extra. The better I can do my main job of soaking damage, the better I am at my job. Leave the DPS checks to the DPS and worry about mitigating as much damage as you can. I choose to go full parry for my pld.

IMO this is a piss poor mentality. You have all the tools to deal good damage, your job should be staying alive, tanking the boss and putting out as much damage as possible.
