What you claim is happening cannot be happening. In game math says it cannot be happening. There is no way you can parry more than 26% in the long run. Even if you get a lucky streak over a few seconds, any fight of 2 minutes or longer will skew down to the 26% average. That is IN THE BEST PARRY gear in the game! Right now, we have "bad" gear and parry rates are closer to 15-17%.

Right there, you ARE saying Flash is better than Steel Cyclone because it generates more enmity for you. You are contradicting yourself.

Flash is 600 potency. It IS gear based, better gear means better Flash. Steel Cyclone is ~800 potency and in ANY gear level, from naked to decked out, Steel Cyclone is always at least 33% better than Flash on non-crit, and almost twice as good on a crit.

Any buff applied to Steel Cyclone, applies to Overpower and Flash. Steel Cyclone is 800 potency, boosting it by any % is the same as boosting anything else by the same %.

Keeping Wrath for ANY situation other than (Burst is in 5 seconds) is the "wrong" way to do it.

Your information and observations are based on false conjecture and are misguiding newer tanks. But like MythToken said, you play the game whatever way you want. In the end, you only have 2 choices: Play optimally, or play sub-optimally.
