Parry...

[ZDamned]

That seems really low to me, even for a PLD. In tank stance and using i90 pure tank gear, I regularly manage 150 DPS as a WAR; my PLD friends manage ~120 in similar circumstances. The only time they don't get those numbers is during AoE scenarios or those with extended downtimes.

This is dependent on which Parser you use, they deviate, however the one I cited my numbers from is my FC's Standard tool, which is not always indicative of accuracy.

Perhaps we can work together and find a common tool to test with? because my warrior in my preferred set can manage ~235 DPS, so I'm not sure how our parsers differ.

It should be kept in mind that most of the slots in the two i90 sets both have parry rating on them whereas there is only a single slot in the 110 sets that has parry on both sets (Body); for every other slot (not counting Ring, since you wear both of them), either Noct or High Allagan is lacking parry rating. As such, just listing total parry per set isn't providing an accurate measure of what the devs are "providing" for the given tier.

That being said, I find the Only Soldiery set worth mentioning, because the full i100 set is obtainable as the best possible gear to the players who cant raid Coil. AKA "Casuals". I have bounced the term Myth Heroes of 2.1 around, but in 2.2, Myth is the new Darklite, and so Weathered Soldiery is the new Myth. that is the highest Achievable solo gear, along with the Animus Weapons.
