Please learn how the game works before commenting on the state of a job that is in need of just a little bit more help. There is no such thing as "partial" block or parry, those are just normal blocks and parries. "Partially" is just flavor text for when things don't do zero damage. Just because you have sentinel rampart and stoneskin on yourself and it doesn't break doesn't suddenly make it a "full block". You are gravely overstating PLD's defensive capabilities with shield mitigation through complete ignorance and rough eyeballing, shields sure as hell don't stop half the damage on a boss.

Even deflection only stopped 792 damage! Again Lady, partial is only flavor text.
