I was gonna gear toward parry at first but stop when i found out that parry only work on Physical damage... (this was when the game release). so to me, trading 1.74 % chance of parry Physical damage for more dps is working. Tank might not do a lot of damage but he/she the only one who can stay on boss 95% of the time.

Try tanking Levi EX and tell me you dont wish you do more damage>< (PRO Group exclude !!><) our group is avg i90 and we beating the enrage by 20 sec or less T_T. especially, when your DPS die at toward the end. T_T
