which if we assume thats true you would see 1/4 of all attacks parried as a warrior. And increasing to 682 would take you to a theoretical 1/2 of all attacks parried.

Which would probably be the max parry you should ever shoot for, unless you want to go for 1023 parry and 3/4 of all attacks are parried.

Warrior only
The base value of 13.5 points of parry per percent of parry rate does not imply that at 341 parry will equal 25% though it may seem that way at first glance. Since 341 parry is the "base" amount at lvl50 then values below this are not relevant, but if you work the slope back to 0 parry you will find that the % of attacks parried at 0 parry is actually about -14.3% (of course not valid below 341). Since it is not 0 you cannot ignore the intercept in your equation. This is implied in Kenji1134's values but not shown explicitly.

In other words, you can get a much more accurate representation of the scaling with: (%) Attacks Parried = .0706 * ParryValue - 14.33

You can plug in the parry values Kenji1134 has provided and find his results of: 341 parry gives 9.75% attacks parried, 523 parry gives 22.6% attacks parried, and with 682 parry (assuming the scaling holds) gives 33.8% attacks parried. These are for a Warrior or as a percentage of a Paladin's unblocked attacks.

Also, another thing to note is that as strength increases then the amount mitigated by parry also increases (at 445 strength the amount parried becomes 26% instead of 25%), and the value of parry will increase at each strength tier due to this. The difference between max and min parry can actually make a difference and maybe even more so in the future, but depends on the fight as many have noted. I'm not saying just stack parry always, but saying another secondary stat is always better is simply not true for all situations. The extremely small amount of damage a main tank is doing at critical dps periods may make just about as much difference as the amount mitigated by parry at key moments, and a lot more attacks can actually be parried than many realize.
