Why Avoid Parry?

[Nektulos-Tuor]

On a successful parry, instead of reducing damage of that hit you should gain a buff called: "Short Reprieve". It also reduces damage from the hit as well.

Short Reprieve:
Reduces all damage taken by 20% for 2.5 seconds.



Of course, proccing parry again would refresh the buff.

A buff like this would make parry infinitely more useful.
