Parry: How would you improve it?

[Lyth]

Don't get snooty with me. For the same reasons parry is terribad currently, dodge is even worse (unless you are a dk where it's actually kind of on par in trash situations x>3 or 4 where x = no of physical attackers). It's not about "we need a parry proc oGCD", it's "if we want to give parry an offensive component" like I suggested, we need to shore up the weakness it war's kit (by giving it as I suggested, a near purely defensive ability).

Yeah, that was a bit of a low blow. <Parry> Low blow. <Parry> Low blow... that's it! Parry will overturn the old double WAR regime. We'll just stack parry after it gets upgraded and use low blow procs to boost DRK's MT dps. That will really show up the weaknesses in WAR's kit and leave it in the dust. Said no one ever.

If you wanted to make a parry based proc, you'd have some rebalancing to do with Raw Intuition and Defiance's parry rate bonuses. Tank equality is important, but sometimes there are reasons why skills aren't simply directly copy-pasted across the board. It's okay to occasionally not have something that another tank has. There will be other things that even it out.

I'd just like to point out that this is actually (partially) why DRK was the preferred MT over WAR in the last raid tier. When MTing gritless DRKs actually had higher DPS than WARs in part because of their parry based procs (though probably more due to their MP sustain from Blood Price + Blood Weapon).

So you can laugh at it but there is some truth to the idea.
