    Like, I get it, Parry is unreliable, doesn't contribute to DPS, etc...

    But why the seething, vicious, homicidal hatred? its just a stat.

    Because the people who make items put it on everything like it "is" a real stat, when its not.

    Its not?

    what's that in between Defense and Magic Defense there then?

    Also there's this: http://ffxiv.ariyala.com/SWKF I dunno about the other tanks, but an i240+ set with 0 parry is possible on DRK if that's your thing. If you don't like Parry, don't wear it.

    Except those stats do something, Parry is about 2% as effective as those stats.

    Now, I am not saying there shouldn't be a "tank stat" but I think it should you know, "do something." that isn't nothing.

    Parry does a better job at being a stat than your posts do at offering anything to these forums.

    Seriously, you don't even participate in content where secondary stats make a difference, in fact you've proudly declared as much on these forums in the past (with quite the condescending attitude towards those of us who do, I might add).

    My post reduces more damage then parry does.

    That's debatable. Your arguments are usually so full of holes that you could drive a herd of cattle through them.

    Your posts cause more facepalming than parry does for sure, though.

    This thread is now true, parry is removed.

    I'll say this:

    While I HAVEN'T been Parry-focused, I DO like when I'm pulling a dungeon and I'm seeing "Parried" floating on my screen often.
