Requesting Data for Parry RATE (not amount mitigated)

[Launched]

• STR accessories on tanks became popular when people figured out it's synergy with WARs. WAR's a self healers that need to deal big damage to heal. It works for them. The other tanks don't synergize as well with STR.

Nope. People use STR on tanks because it adds DPS. Self healing from Bloodbath and Inner Beast is pretty weak. It's nice but STR doesn't increase it much. All 3 tanks benefit from increased damage.

• DRKs should most definitely be stacking parry - period. They have a -10% outgoing damage off GCD and an off GCD stun that rely on parry procs; which equates to more DPS. They synergize with it and stack it exponentially with moves like Dark Dance.

Nope. Parry is completely random. You could stack it on all your pieces of gear and you'd still only have a slightly higher chance to parry. It'll never guarantee you get your procs. Det/crit/skillspeed are all far more reliable in what you do.

• A lot of people, like yourself I am assuming, wet their pants when they see a big number on a crit. Parry is not something that is visually exciting, but long term, it makes a HUGE difference.

Nope. Parry mostly leads to overhealing. You don't rely on it, you rely on cooldowns. Your healers don't rely on it, they shield and precast heals. The majority of the time, parrying won't help.
