And yes DEX affects block rates as well, because I didn't mention that part I don't have my facts straight? lol Anyway, it had slipped my mind to mention it because it's as little an impact as the parry rate increase.

And parry and block rate boosts are bad because the content is such that you cannot rely on them. They do not reliably increase your eHP. And you sound like someone who doesn't even know what that is, go google it. "Do you people even know what you are talking about." Thanks, was a good laugh reading that.
Youre telling me I dont know what Im talking about but youre posting hearsay from over a year ago. That is as useless as the stuff I just washed down the toilet.

Seriously, I need facts. That means math. Not your opinion. If you put DEX on something, you do it for the block rate. Not for the parry rate. The parry rate has its own materia called parrying.
