Anyone arguing a tank should favor dps over DR is just wrong.


However I would still like to see some more conclusive data on parry, and more importantly how this affects warriors who cannot block.
Parry is even better for Warriors, because they don't have blocks to lower their parry. Pld parry x% of the hits they dont blocks; Warrior parry x% of the hits, period.

Data on parry IS conclusive. 13 parry = 1% parry rate, with 10% base parry rate at zero additional parry @50; thus 52 parry is 4% parry rate, which at 24% DR for parry comes out at 0.98% DR. You end up with about 53 parry = 1% DR. Full parry gear compared to no parry gear is about 250 difference, so about 5% DR difference. Test it out for yourself. Numerous people have done it, including myself, and i did those tests on level 10 mobs, level 46 mobs, and on T6. Parry rate never varied with mob level and was always consistent with the formula given. It is not an unproven theory or anything.
