Because Parry wasn't bad enough

Nice.

Eh oh well, doesn’t mean much for war because of the changes to raw intuition.

I'm going to say something that I feel not enough people have said. Will you people PLEASE quit looking for things to nitpick and piss and moan about and just for once be thankful for what you got.

If you don't have any opinion on the topic then you're free to ignore it.

Given there's no way to increase parry rate, and when there was it was useless, you could also just think of it as an adjustment to base damage taken and efficiency of cooldowns involving parry.

Which negatively effects the only tank with a parry CD. The reduction to blocking is expected because they need to reset the baseline. But parry doesn't scale with gear or stats so it seems odd they'd reduce it's effectiveness.

I don't know, it just bothers me a bit that they've stripped so much out of tanking itself. Fine, we didn't use tank stance all the time, but rotating the plethora of damage reduction abilities at least help make it interesting. Those are gone now. Parry, as bad of a reputation as it's had, is just one of the passive things that make a tank a tank. An "identity" of sorts. The basic tank trait and removal of CD rotation play is slowly eroding what little dynamic play we had left.

Pretty sure all the classes can parry, not just Tanks.

You must not know how humans operate.

Yeah don't look a gift horse in the mouth, but if i'm being gifted a retired race horse with a gimp leg I'm not gonna appreciate the gift much.

The same logic applies to user posts.
"Please quit looking for for things to nitpick in peoples posts, Just be thankful they are even giving SE a chance to make QoL/gameplay improvements that keep them fueling the game with their cash."

Well, it makes Camouflage slightly worse than we initially thought
