What if Parry was a rate like Block?

[Yuni_Queen]

Which outlines the two of the main issues with parry:
It forces tank itemization down specific paths (which sucks) and it has little wiggle room.

Yup, it sucks. And it does already exist. DRGs relaying heavily on SkS are rather history as well as ninjas melding SkS...
There are better and worse meld choices. Melding full SkS or even just a little for ninja is a waste, while melding Det for BLM is not too efficient compared to spell speed and crit rate.

You are saying that making parry stronger it would state which path should be taken to be most efficient.
But that's how it is already. Crit has highest AP per point, Det is just behind, and rest are there somewhere. Se meta already exist.
Changing parry that way won't change the meta itself.

Btw:

(and stop doing DREX only you casual)

Please explain what is written here. i literally have no idea if you are offending me or just joking.
For your sake you pray it is this second... >:C
