I'm happy with the lack of that particular visual clutter. Its like spell and particle effects; its nice to have them, but too much merely hides what is going on onscreen.

This in part at least is why parry is broken.

If a 6 hit skill skill hits a tank he'd effectively have 6 chances to parry it and mitigate a chunk of the damage. But because everything is done as a single attack it cripples it a lot

Assuming you are talking about tank busters, the majority of them are only single hits and the ones that do have multiple hits have the damage split into the multiple hits for damage and I can't think of a single case where this doesn't apply.

I can only think of one exception in the entire game, and it's a randomly used MNK mob attack called Triple Threat. XD Tank busters that aren't a single massive hit are in fact split into multiple hits, like Gobrush Rushgob and that one attack the first boss uses in Fractal. At least as far as I can think of ATM. Probably others.

Not really. Parry is broken because the beginning chances are so small. 6 hits, 1 hit... it doesn't make much difference.
