Any tips for how to identidy parries?

[mbncd]

I was in a party last night and told to use my AoE skills. From what I've seen, it seems our AoE skills are mainly only available directly after parrying a blow (other than Whirlwind, which costs a huge amount of TP, or should I be focusing on Path of the Storm chains?).

The problem is, I don't know when I've parried... I've tried reading the battle log during the fight (and I know that it does say it in there whenever we at least partially parry a blow, which I also know is all that's really needed to use Fracture or Overpower) but in a hectic fight of 8 people and 3-4 mobs all fighting at once, it simply goes past too fast to be able to read it...

How do you party pro marauders use Fracture and Overpower effectively? How do you know when you've parried a blow? I've mainly just used the single target attacks, or when I've been soloing it's easier to read the battle log so I use Fracture and Overpower a lot then.

I only just got Marauder to 50 yesterday so that I could use my Ifrit Battleaxe and I really want to be able to do that weapon justice. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
