What is PLD BiS?

[SpookyGhost]

Let me get this straight... Someone here thinks having 100 less Parry is only 3% less parry chance?
I can tell you right now, I have 2 characters with the Allagan Blade, you are wrong. (Brought an ALT from 0-ilvl 88 in 5 weeks, and just got my T5 Sword last night.)
There is no reason to believe that 2ndary stats are that worthless.

3% overall less parrying over the course of the entire fight.

Secondary stats have worth, sure, but thinking that having such a small amount of Parry/DET/Crit/etc. will actually make any real definable difference When You Are Already Full i90 is a bit delusional. Remember, when talking about BiS we are talking about the best set at full i90 - not some i70, some i80, etc. We're talking about full i90 and whether the secondary stats are actually worth min/maxing to complete content - which they aren't. Even in T6, somehow, I doubt that extra Parry is going to make or break your win or loss. Yes, it's good to have more Parry than less Parry - but it's not worth grinding Coil for as long as it takes to get it when you could, instead, be in T6 grinding THAT for BETTER GEAR. If you happen to have unlimited time on your hands and no life, then sure, spend all your time facerolling 1-5 to get your BiS - hell, might as well get BiS on every job while you're there. But for those of us who have brains, maybe if you can do T6 with what you've got you Really Don't Need BiS. O: O: O: O: Also saying "I have 2 characters with the Allagan Blade" doesn't make you any less wrong - keep it in your pants, man.

Oh, also, nobody is arguing that maximizing Parry isn't the way you create a BiS set - the whole debate from OP is that the current BiS will still have a lot of worth in 2.2 when it barely has any worth now. All you need is full i90 and to hit Accuracy cap, if you happen to not have that extra 100 Parry it rrrrreally isn't going to matter.

Admittedly, Anecdotally I feel like I take less damage, however that is not proof in itself, so I'll have to do some testing to make this into an actual fact. I'll see what I find today, and post back tomorrow.
