Parry: How would you improve it?

[ashwich]

problem with parry, aside from all the above you mentioned. is that people simply don't care about the little damage reduction it provides. The DPS is king meta is very strong in the community. How often do you see tanks come off of tank stance for instance. Granted nobody do this during a tank buster, everytime they do they're giving up 20% reduced incoming for more dps.

what do you think they can possibly do to parry to make people hold on to it more dearly than 20% flat dmg reduction?

Don't get me wrong, I for one would love to see tank focus on tank things, because that's their role.

Personally I think this won't happen unless the game go through some fundamental change to force tank into wanting to focus on defense, one way or another.
