    The problem with making parry do an extra hit or w/e is that itll still be worthless to any tank not currently tanking. Which in most boss fights is like 50% of all tanks. Idk how they can make it do something that gives a constant boost to dps which would be more valuable than crit/det/sks so maybe they will just up its defensive properties and ppl will still avoid it like the bad stat plague that it is.

    Here are a few suggestions for what each stat of parry could actually give - more threat gen, lower incoming crit chance, lower overall damage received, incease amount of healing received or lower cooldown recast. Prob should rename it to something else while they at it lol

    what about changing the effect dependig on your stance? so out of tank-stance it can be the same effect as det - it increases your damage. but in tank-stance it is some kind of reversed det and it lowers the incoming damage?

    sure, people will still avoid it because who needs defense? xD

    Unless they decide to change how the tanking works in this game, Parry in any form is never going to be valuable stat unless they boost it to ridiculous amounts.

    Easy fix would be just to remove it till they actually want to make stats more complex.
