Renewed Request - Please Delete Parry from the game

[eagledorf]

I don't know that tank stats have been worked out yet, but if they were nerfed to half-efficacy like STR was, then Parry might actually be one of the stronger stats for tank now, though it still will have 0 effect on DPS (well, I guess it has a teeeeeeny effect on DRK DPS)

Anyway, on PLD and DRK I actually hate Skill Speed the most, even more than parry. I mean, it does increase your DPS, but on PLD it makes you burn your TP even faster and clip GB and doesn't help your cast/recast times on spells. It just makes me mad how bad it works with the job >:|

I never really got the hatred for parry either. True, it doesn't help your DPS, but it's just one of the many stats you can choose and it makes sense to have at least one defensive stat that you can choose or avoid on a tank job depending on preference. At one point during the progression period on T13 I had so much parry from my melds that I was parrying or blocking the majority of incoming damage, which was honestly pretty cool.
