    As a tank it doesn't really matter to me either way. They can keep the parry and I will just keep avoiding it as much as possible. I can't wait until some other 200 options come along so I can get rid of the DRK chest and pants. Hopefully the Void ark chest and pants have better stats or maybe I will find some in the airship quests.

    It's attitudes like this that show ignorance on what Parry actually does. "OH, NO! RNG! AVOID RNG!". /facepalm

    Lol what?
    Knowing how much parry sucks ATM, it'd be more ignorant to not avoid it.

    It's random physical mitigation that no longer scales with STR, in a game where the only things likely to kill you are predictable tank busters and/or magical damage that you can't parry, that you will prep cooldowns for anyway.

    The parry stat itself scales poorly and has a negative impact on your damage output because of how secondary stats are allocated in gear. (A piece that doesn't have parry will have crit/det/skspd instead, or accuracy, which allows for shifting of gear pieces elsewhere to hit a certain accuracy goal)

    TBs are indeed predictable and easily mitigated which is why i find this mentality hilarious. If you die to a tb you or your healers or both are bad and/or not paying attention. If you die to anything else it just sucks/was bad rng.
