Parry is terrible and always will be. The base amount is plenty for every encounter in the game.
Not sure where you're coming from with PLD having to start in Shield, our PLD starts every fight in the game currently in Sword and holds hate. If Quelling is applied, and WAR starts with SE > Fracture > SP, there is nothing to worry about except lucky crit NIN/DRG.
