Please Remove or Repurpose Parry

[Ralvenom]

Taking from something that works is a little more important than being a unique snowflake. FFXIV was built on this very principle (and I suspect it's a good part of of why ARR was so successful), so if the complainers that don't understand the "a good composer borrows, a great composer steals" principle want to cry over this, I say let them.

Yes, agreed. However, you should probably do it in a unique way, so it's not a direct copy.

Lol what?
Knowing how much parry sucks ATM, it'd be more ignorant to not avoid it.

It's random physical mitigation that no longer scales with STR, in a game where the only things likely to kill you are predictable tank busters and/or magical damage that you can't parry, that you will prep cooldowns for anyway.

To quote from a current, well done guide:

Parry is better the more you MT, DPS is better the more you OT…

You should ALWAYS gear for what's best for the encounter, not just gearing for what's best for dps. Anyany who thinks gearing for what's best for dps "all day errday" BECAUSE EVERYONE DOES IT is dumb.
