Warrior Parry - yay or nay.

[Whiston]

Here is a solution, secondary stats matter so little in this game for 99% of the player base that you should ignore all secondary stats
It literally doesn't matter for you. Unless you are in the top guild on your server and pushing T13, 2 months ago. It just doesn't matter.

That is far too ignorant a statement to be taken seriously.

My 186 crit and 99 det from gear alone accounts for roughly 70 points of strength.
If secondaries don't matter, then 70 points of strength doesn't matter.
If 70 points of strength doesn't matter, then you might as well say your entire accessory set doesn't matter.

The difference in damage between a vit/parry warrior and a crit/det warrior are staggering.

yeah, my 115 war can hit a 1300 crit butchers with str set on, same amount as my 106 drg crit full thrust
they both have 30 str attribute, same right side, 110 soldiery weapon, war is full 120 armor, drg full 100 armor
all things considered, i think its pretty damn good that i can hit as hard as a average-geared dps

I was not implying to remove all of the secondaries off of the gear. I was simply saying worrying about what gear has what in the end makes little difference. Just equipping the highest ilvl gear that is most readily available to you, will get you where you need to go, and won't be far off of the stats that you just stated.

You are also implying that I was comparing a Vit/parry to a STr/crit/det, which is not at all what was stated. Nor what I was comparing. be it all Vit or Vit/Str left side. Just take the highest i lvl gear and don't worry about the secondaries.

I am also not suggesting stacking parry. I am again saying just take what you can get with the highest ilvl. And you will end up with a mix of stats that are good enough.

The majority of players are not Min/Max ers, and the difference in a mix of all stats vs max det/crit is very insignificant for them, and really anyone else. It would also serve them better to forget about BiS since the length of time it would require to reach BiS is pretty unrealistic. And they would be far better off pursuing the fastest upgrades available each week.

To the OP, parry is the weakest of 2ndaries, but really in the end it doesn't matter if you go with a mix of 2ndaries. The only thing I would not do is stack parry specifically.
