Anyone Have Data on Block and Parry Percentage?

[PiedPiper]

Been trying to find this for days and keep ending up at the same old tables telling you the str tiers for amount blocked, but the amount you block doesn't really tell you anything about damage mitigation over time if you don't know frequency of parry/block.

Pretty straight forward, anyone taken the time to figure out:

A) How often does a i90 shield PLD block? 5% of the time, 20%? 99.9999%? Intuitively I want to guess its somewhere near 25%, but without real data I can't say.

B) How often does a paladin parry? How often does a Warrior parry?

C)Is this the same if they both have the same Parry rating?

D) How much % increase chance to parry is 1 parry rating?


Edit: had made a typo and put block instead of parry in question b, cus i'm derp made.

Warriors cannot block- that is the only data that I know for sure

We block with our face.

D) How much % increase chance to block is 1 parry rating?

It is not known how much 1 parry is worth at this time, or how much 1 dex is worth. Estimate vary wildly, between 0.06% and 0.08% per point of parry above base (base chance appears to be 10%). The impact of dexterity has been subject to several tests, none of which are conclusive.

I stand corrected! So does that mean you have around 100% block rate? I take it, when you parry, your head blocks all incoming damage not reduced by your parry?

That would mean war is definatelly OP! Because my paladins shield does not have 100% proc chance!

A) I'm derp mode, accidentally typed block instead of parry in some places.

B) I think parry rating impacts the amount you parry for, as well as perhaps parry rate (At 582 parry i mitigate 24%, warrior in my group with only 2 str less but ~45 parry less parries for 21%).

Parry and block could be tiered, or it could be completely linear and you're just seeing a rounded number on the pop-up. There is no proof one way or the other and both of those possibilities would look the same. i chose to believe it is linear and we're just seeing a rounded number because nothing else in the game is tiered. Why should this be the exception?

This data doesn't tell you anything about chance to block or parry, just the amount blocked or parried.

I've had the same questions. Just going to go over a few things to see if I understand them correclty.

For a Paladin:

Dexterity and Block Rating on your shield affect your chance to block %.
Strength and your Block Strength rating on your shield affects the % of incoming damage you mitigate with a block proc.

Parry rating affects your chance to parry %
Strength affects the % of incoming damage you mitigate with a parry proc.

Just like the OP i've seen numerous tables in a tiered fashion that show us or predict what % of incoming damage we mitigate with a parry or block based on our Strength.

But I haven't found any information on what our actual percent chance to block or parry is depending upon our dexterity, parry rating, and block rating. ^^
