All separating them shows is more evidence that Block is checked before Parry, proving something we already pretty well know: PLD gets less Parry rate point for point than WAR for each point of Parry because of that shield.

    Sure, just add them together.

    Yes we all know it's diluted but the math on parry does not add up in FCoB.

    595 should be a ~28% parry rate.

    Diluted by a 32% block rate brings it to 19%. With an observed rate of 8% over 3 hours.

    Yes some attacks can't be either block or parried and RNG of blocks could be the case but a 3hr sample is pretty large. That's why I was asking for more data.

    If what you used for testing allows you to(and you still have the data), can you filter things out so that you only have the observed Parry/Block rate for a single attack that is known to be blockable?
