Parry...

[Lemuria]

Where is the countermove eh?

The countermove is simply moving your weapon in place to ward off the attack and is not the same thing as a counter-attack.

I do think adding a move that procs on parry would be a smart idea.

We have one. It's called Shield Swipe and it adds pacify to the target. It also has a reasonably high potency, it's only catch being that it generates no additional threat compared to our other skills.

I agree that parry needs to be looked at with a bit more care, but I wouldn't call it completely useless. Much like spell speed, it's certainly not a stat you'd want to run empty on simply because the benefits are only noticed when it's well-stacked.
