    The description in game still claims "Affects physical melee damage, as well as damage prevented by parrying and blocking". So is this something that was in the patch notes and the description hasn't been adjusted or is STR not affecting parry an error?

    Was supposedly changed in the japanese client but not the english client. Most likely something they will fix soon. STR and DEX does nothing to parry right now.

    Wow if that's true this is.... scary.

    It's very amateur to NOT update the text that has been updated in other languages...

    Having a status description IN GAME spreading false information is absolutely unacceptable.

    Shame on you Square Enix...

    They botched a ton of the descriptions for different things in our version. I'm not surprised they're still as they were pre 3.0

    So serious, wtf does Dex do at all then?
    Im guessing the parry-rate is now completely separate? So shouldn't it be at some Fixed %?

    I feel like this could make parry, which was already being cosidered low-value even less sought after than before

    Totally depends on the scaling. If they changed so parry scales better then it's not a bad stat. Just that it barely scaled at all during 2.0

    I don't feel any difference in parry rate going from a class that had 0 ability to increase their parry rate (Pre HW Warrior), to a new class that has one, but hardly does anything (Drk). Mind you, this is with MORE Parry than I had back then seeing as Parry was the last thing you'd want as a Warrior.

    Don't think there was any change in it's scaling. If there was, it was a really trivial amount.
