Parry...

[ZDamned]

My only real experience healing a dps geared tank is from a long while back. It was with a FC group trying to clear Titan HM for the first time. The MT died and the OT wearing dps gear was one shot by the next mountain buster despite having cooldowns up. He was a PLD.

I'm sure in content like t4 it isn't much of a difference with how geared out people are now, but if my tank were eating plummets with little parry I'm certain I'd notice this.

This is not Titan HM were talking about.
This is deep end game content, post Coil.
And Eating Plummets with less parry is something you would NOT notice, because it's an attack that doesn't happen enough, nor does it hit hard enough. 2000~ Damage is a 300-400 Damage mitigation with a parry, and it comes randomly baked in with an added Auto Attack for another 1.1K as well. You won't notice 300-400 damage fluctuating because of double and triple hits, and even full on parry tanks don't parry every single plummet.

PS: You can tank Titan HM on a Dragoon if your healers are good enough thees days.

But DPS Geared in this thread does NOT mean Strength accessories! I'm so tired of people thinking that I am sacrificing Vitality... I have 7100 HP tanking in T6/7, and I do not dip below this number.
