Actually no, that's not a logical conclusion at all, that's an informal fallacy. Tank viability isn't /solely/ on dps at all, nor has anyone or myself proposed that it was. We are specifically discussing secondary stats in conjunction with tanking in regards to parry vs other secondaries. Context seems to be a little hard for you to grasp but either way your conclusion isn't "logical" in any sense of the word. Dps synergy with certain TANK moves and cool downs was what we are saying, the increase in damage secondaries in conjunction with these abilities is greater mitigation than that from stacking parry. This isn't an opinion, it's been tested many many times. Because you choose to misrepresent the argument due to your inability to either understand or compose a counter argument doesn't change that. If you want to get upset and foot stamp off because parry isn't a good stat then that's fine with me, go play Bard. Either way it isn't going to stop anyone from researching or discussing the issue at hand. If you want parry then stack it until you are blue in the face, it won't matter or affect me one iota. Good luck.
