See, I wouldn't argue this either. Because blocks usurp parry procs as opposed to coexisting with them, and math done early in the xpac seems to suggest that WAR and to a greater extent DRK have *slightly* higher innate parry rates, if PLD does in fact have greater passive mitigation its by like, 1%.

Rampart doesn't extend to PLD anything that IB or Shadowskin doesn't, and the extra 10% of Sentinel is paltry compared to the huge uptime of Vengeance. IB's 6s every 15-20 is actually WAY higher uptime than 20s every 90s. Shadow Wall is weaker than Sentinel yes, but the rest of DRK's native CDs, including Reprisal, have HUGE uptime. Imagine if you took 10% of Sentinel's 40% for 10s every 180s, and gave it to PLDs for 20s every 30s, 40 or so if parry rng is bad. That's kinda what DRK has.
