Renewed Request - Please Delete Parry from the game

[Yuni_Queen]

I spend waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much time on these forums. Here's a couple threads that come to mind about it:
Parry Thread 1
Parry Thread 2

Ｏ(≧∇≦)Ｏ PLEASE NOTICE ME SENPAI!

Thanks for links!

Like, I get it, Parry is unreliable, doesn't contribute to DPS, etc...

But why the seething, vicious, homicidal hatred? its just a stat.

It's weird, Many people complain there's not enough variety in gear stats, taking one away seems counterinuitive.

Except those stats do something, Parry is about 2% as effective as those stats.

Now, I am not saying there shouldn't be a "tank stat" but I think it should you know, "do something." that isn't nothing.

I'll say this:

While I HAVEN'T been Parry-focused, I DO like when I'm pulling a dungeon and I'm seeing "Parried" floating on my screen often.

My post reduces more damage then parry does.

Hahahahahah... I had to hit LIKE on this. I actually laughed out loud at my desk...lol...

*EDIT*
Had to quote it in my signature.

I'm late to this party, but I realized that it also generates more emnity too.

[Nezkeys79]

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

Could always keep parry like it is, but whenever parry is initiated, your next attack is a crit. This in a way, would double your crit and keep parry as a dps/mitigation stat. So at 20% parry you'd be having a 20% increase in critical hits. The conversion should probably be lower, but Ihate stacking rng on rng. This would synergize well with drk and wars raw intuition (only while main tanking,) but could exaggerate an mt imbalance with pallys.

I would rather make parry more reliable, in another threat Javid summed up what parry should look like.

Here you have that thread i mentioned. Just in case people don't know there is alternative thread lol.

[Rawrz]

The issues I have with that is that it's just block rate without a shield (stackable on pally.) It is an acceptable solution though. I'd prefer a repurpose over a direct potency buff. Reward tanks with dps for main tanking.

Rewarding MT with DPS is a bit like rewarding DPS with more defence xD

Parry shoudn't affect attacks, because all classes can parry and solo playing on wolrd map, or leves, or quests - would buff DPS making this easier than it was intentioned.

You only get a buff if you parry, and most classes don't have access to parry on their gear. This change would be party oriented and the effects on non tanks would be seen, but at such a low rate that it won't affect much in the open world. So tanks that stack parry would be increasing their dps as they main tank and their dps would stay the same outside of tanking.
