Parry Scaling

Parry is a bad stat. The amount you need per increase us staggering (and fifty I belive it was around 100 rating per one percent)

It was 17 parry = +1% parry rate at L50, not 100. It believe though it was 86 DEX/STR was +1% mitigation, which is gone now in HW. This means some Dreadwyrm pieces added nearly 3% parry rate per piece... it was just entirely unneeded.

After I posted that I remembered that the tower shield was only a ilvl148 compared to the 180 of Law shield. So the comparison was off by a lot, freakin 2am posts. If hive shield is blocking for 28% that's a pretty big difference in 10ilvls. I know for a fact the 170 law shield was blocking 19-20% dmg which is the same amount blocked by the upgraded 180 shield. I don't see why going up another 10 ilvls suddenly gives you 8-9% increased block strength. We will have to see how it plays out it's going to be a long road for sure.

The Hive Shield has 200 more block value than the law shield, its a different shield type. The law shield should activate more often, for a lesser amount but due to Bulwark and Sheltron the lower activating, stronger, Hive shield is the better choice. And it doesn't eat as many parry procs. It has almost NOTHING to do with the ilvl difference.
