Is Parry going to be reworked?

I don't think we've really seen any information on how the class will work in XIV, have we? o.O

I don't believe we have. Rumors spread like facts these days.

It was said at London Fanfest that DRK would rely on parry and dodge to tank.

Hmm... will be interesting to see how that pans out without them having an Agility stat. Maybe they'll be repurposing DEX somewhat? Never understood why they left AGL out of this game...they had to have known they would eventually be adding jobs that could use it?

The "evasion" stat does exist in this game, it's the reason we can dodge at all and it's only really shown off with Featherfoot to a very small extent. Based on what Yoshi-P said, it's likely DRK will have abilities to boost it's Parry/Evasion. Hopefully this also means Parry will get a revision since right now DRK having those abilities wouldn't really matter all too much.
