    WAR Parry?

    So I notice the Noct gear is leaving me parry starved while trying to meet the ACC for T6-T9? Can't use my Bravura atma (almost completed) can't use the Allagan Battle Axe without losing the parry. It seems to me I have to suck it up and use Hakkor and lose some weapon DMG/primary stats to stay above 550 parry (unbuffed) and meet the ACC cap for T6 (499 atm with food, 490 without.) Until I can get some high allagan gear to drop and save me.

    How are other WARs handling this? Are you guys letting your parry drop to a certain number just to get your ACC cap? If so how low before it starts to affect you badly?

    To be quite honest, you're probably better off. Parry's pretty bad for Warriors in Coil anyway. Parry being remotely important is a huge misconception in this game.

    You're tanking only half of the time in T6 anyway, and you definitely want the damage stats for the final burn.

    The only time you can parry anything in Turn 7 is when you're tanking the Deathdancers. For the majority of the fight, you're DPS. None of the Prosector's attacks can be parried, as they're all spells.

    Parry is okay in Turn 8, but ~25% of the damage dealt to the tank can't even be Parried and damage is arguably more valuable.

    Turn 9, you're DPSing most of the time. Meeting damage quotas is very important.

    2ndary stats are all pretty trivial, just get acc cap and highest ilvl with most usefull stats. IE no skill speed
