    Raw Intuition also doesn't "make Parry better". It's a cooldown that gives you 20% damage reduction against physical attacks that you can parry, that comes with a serious drawback against multiple enemies unless you use a second cooldown.
    You cannot block and parry simultaneously so I don't see what you're trying to say with "they get both". Yes we get Blocks and Parry - but it's just another roll on potential outcomes.

    WAR -> Inc. attack ->Roll Damage, Roll Crit. Damage, Roll Parry Damage, Roll Parry Crit. -> One of these will happen.
    PLD -> Inc. attack -> Roll Damage, Roll Crit. Damage, Roll Block Damage, Roll Block Crit., Roll Parry Damage, Roll Parry Crit. -> One of these will happen but Block supersedes Parry - so if you roll a Block you can't roll a parry. You will never get both simultaneously - we do not get Parry guarantee abilities or boosts to Parry rate - only Block rate % from Bulwark - also entirely dependent on shield choice (gear).


    Also Raw Intuition is 100% guaranteed Parry - Bulwark is 60% chance to Block.
