Unless they were talking about the effect of Parry on a shield's Block Rate. From what I've seen testing the effects of STR and Block Strength earlier this week, it's pretty obvious STR scales alot better on Parry than Shield and since Shields have a secondary modifier on block rate that has a much more potent, Parry is probably scaled way down in order to prevent PLD's from being OP.
