You're straw manning my point, and yes you're right that it's not a one to one comparison. Of course cool downs are different and valuable because of their precise nature.

I was just showing that 2% dr over time isn't as small as it seems.


More, because Casper's numbers are right (or at least right-er), parry can be pushed high enough that you can begin to "count" on it over time.

By stacking a stat like parry, favoring buckler over kite shields and so on, the cumulative effect if these stats work together to greatly flatten the damage you receive over time.
