I don't think you understand the way parry works in FF14. Nor do I think you understand how tanking effectively works.

There is not a single encounter, primal, levi, or raid in FF14 where you would gear yourself for parry over DPS. Not. A. Single. One.

Any guide in which tells you to stack parry as a MT should be looked at with a grain of salt.
