Requesting Data for Parry RATE (not amount mitigated)

[Rbstr]

Inner Beast may be bread and butter. But it tops out, in i130, at like 1.2k on a crit. It's nice to top you off...but completely washed out by healer skills. Inner Beast's healing is just a small bonus for taking more strength.

Parry is a VERY useful stat for DRK. It synergizes as well as STR does on WAR.

It's not even close. The only place it works is the miniscule gains in parry percentage give you a tiny bit of increased uptime for Reprisal.
Any DPS gains an accessory with parry would add from resetting the Low Blow timer are totally insignificant compared to using a parry-less strength accessory instead.

Miniscule? If the numbers I'm reading are right, the difference between Baseline (354) and Max Reasonable (about 600 atm), is about 7-10%, depending on whose data you believe. That might not be much in terms of raw mitigation from parry, but it's quite significant both in terms of "normal" reprisal uptime and in our ability to "force" a reprisal proc with Dark Dance, and Reprisal is very significant mitigation.
