    PS: I have more parry than you do, and I NEVER see your magic numbers.
    You can't have much more parry than me lol. I'm over 620 with food, it's simple not possible to be much more.


    That said, of course you aren't parrying 45%, not all attacks can be mitigated and you block then parry. Of the parriable attacks that you don't block? Yeah you are parrying 40%+. Do you play with floating text on?



    Also, I was taking about cding in final phase not before that.

    By that logic though, you've cut the usefulness of parry by half if not more depending on the instance. Even if you negotiate instances based on the types of attacks enemies use, the slower or the more magical the attacks are the more significantly blocking/parrying is crippled, and it simply won't measure up to DPS secondary stats (save for skill speed maybe) when capped accuracy removes the only factor that hurts your hate/dps "missing".
