Renewed Request - Please Delete Parry from the game

[Brannigan]

If they want parry to be sought out they need to
1) add passive mitigation to it. It still won't be great, but at least it will have a place.
2) greatly increase the mitigation of parry procs.
or
3) add more traits for every tank that rely on parry to be useful

Easy brainless additions for 3 would be stuff like chance to gain Wrath on parry, chance to gain Sheltron effect on parry, increased damage dealt after parry, eliminates MP cost of Dark Arts after parry, parry also increases accuracy or crit, instant cast Clemency after parry, etc. Stuff that is REALLY good if you're tanking because you can't access it if you're not. Really, it's just dumb that they made this stat worse AND more boring (doesn't get stronger from STR anymore) while simultaneously making crit better (increases crit power too).

If it stays like it is now into 4.0 then, yeah, you might as well delete it since anything it's attached to instantly becomes the bad piece of its item level tier.

1) While you're right, they might as well call the stat something else at that point. Of course the downside of this is that they'd have to tune bosses expecting tanks to stack parry, which means they'd hit even harder than the stuff we're currently facing in 3.2.
2) This could happen but stuff like Raw Intuition would probably have to be changed. Of course, we'd first have to determined what "greatly increase" entails.
3) Beyond traits, even something simple like having you immediately auto-attack when a parry procs would somewhat help.

it doesn't add anything to this thread lol but parry in xi was way better.
