    Now i know how parry is beeing counted i may say, that calling this changes "fix to parry" is not really necessary (besides, where do you find all those info!? I tried google. i find only complaints about shitty parry!) I am content with how it works now, at least for shieldless tanks.

    Those ideas of making parry cooperate with shield oath or block itself are good ideas, the one with changing scaling is also quite interesting, but giving it an offensive modifier would touch a little sphere of different topics. OT is still tank, and while parry is wasted, because he is not MT right now, he will be in a second (otherwise, why did you bring two tanks?), the fact, that they can deal dmg, doesnt mean, they are suppsoed to transform into dps role.

    I tend to agree. It's not the best-scaling stat, but for a passive, it really isn't bad.

    Don't get me wrong - I'm actually with you on this one. I just know a lot of people avoid it because of the lack of DPS component.
