    The point of my list is to maximize Crit, and Determination instead of Parry, since Parry's mitigation is so minuscule, it basically doesn't help at all. So, in i90 Full parry gear, your sacrificing a LOT of DPS (15-20) for a 1.5% damage mitigation buff... It just doesn't make enough of a difference in the long run for healers MP.

    If it were more like .15% per point, I would say go all out, but based on your number, why would you spend all the extra gear points for that minuscule amount of Mitigation?

    --Edit for math!

    So I added up my set vs the current BiS Parry set.
    Mine gives +117 Parry, which based on the 0.015 number equals 1.755 Parry Chance
    The BIS Gives +233 Parry, which based on the same number is 3.495 Parry Chance

    This difference being 1.74% more Parrying in the BIS list. But that 1.74% Comes at a Price of.....
    -50 Crit Rating
    -60 Determination
    -25 Accuracy
    +44 Skill Speed (yay?)

    Personally, I'd take the 50 Crit, and 60 Det, while freeing up more food options. then the 1.74 % chance to mitigate 23% Damage.
