Why Avoid Parry?

[Freyyy]

and parry is even a worst stat on Pld, since how the game calculates incoming damage. It first sees if a incoming hit is block first, then calculates if parry procs, if block procs it never gets to the parry proc chance stage. Parry has larger diminishing returns on Pld versus the other 2 tanks.

PLD is in fact the only one who gets this "double check" when taking physical damage. When taking damage, the game checks twice (block, if not, parry, if not, full damage) if you passively mitigate the hit instead of just once (parry, if not, full damage). It increases their overall passive physical mitigation. But parry is still garbage tho. I'm not saying that it's good on PLD or whatever.
