As a Tank, what would you want in the next raid? *Savage

[Ralvenom]

Relying on RNG to save your life or smooth out massive auto attacks might not be the most fun thing in the world.

Yes, but it's actually fine. People dislike parry because RNG. It's not the fact that it's RNG. It's the fact that parry means jackshit once you get into Savage. Why? Because tank busters and magic damage.
Rarely does parry actually matter, because autoattacks in Savage aren't a major tank concern. WoW typically had it such that autoattacks were a tank concern, which added value to parry AND vit. But the current FF14 meta is such that tank busters are really the ONLY thing tanks worry about. This devalues both parry and vit. Also, part of the problem is that parry is a separate stat of its own on gear. In other words, instead of strength generating parry, SE just put parry on gear. Parry would be much more valuable right now if 1str=0.3% parry (numbers are just examples).
