    How much of these raid damage could be parried?

    I'm trying to have every EX primals on farm as well as turns 1-7.

    I'm quite happy with most of them except the following few-

    Garuda, Ramuh, and Rafflesia.

    How much of their damage is physical?

    So with Garuda it would be things like her cleave, adds' attacks and stuff;

    Ramuh, I don't know if anything other than his auto is physical;

    And Raffy, on its leafstorm, spit amongst others.

    Yes parry doesn't scale well but I like seeing it.

    Garuda: All autoattacks, Downstream, Wicked Wheel.
    Ramuh: Literally nothing is parryable.
    Rafflesia: Everything Rafflesia targets just the Tank with except for Swarm is parryable. Leafstorm, Bouquet, and Spit cannot be parried.

    In general: If the boss is directly targeting the Tank with an attack, there's a very high chance that it is physical. Fights like Ramuh are the exception, not the rule.

    Pretty sure you can parry Swarm. I know block works on it, in any case.

    Thank you. I was kinda being hopeful because I think Mountain Buster could be parried.

    Also, parried makes an awesome typo of parties.

    Swarm is parryable, or at least the attacks that come when swarm timer ends. And yes mountain buster is parryable.

    You could make a game where all you did was run through fields of flowers holding hands and you'd still get a guy telling you you're doing it wrong.

    For the most part, if it looks like a melee physical attack, it's probably able to be parried. (Mountain Buster looks like an earth based attack, but it's actually considered a melee cleave). For this reason is why a lot of people hate Ramuh, absolutely nothing is able to parried, and defensive cooldowns like Foresight and Bulwark are useless (Foresight increases only physical defense, not magic defense, and if an attack can't be parried, it can't be blocked either). On Ramuh, you'd really probably be better bringing a Warrior, as they have the self healing, and a Paladin's shield might as well be unequipped for the whole fight, it would probably give close to the same survivability without it.
