very quick adorn question re: brawlers

[Bozidar]

Which wrist adorn is better, the one that procs on a parry, or the one that blocks on a deflect?

[dartie]

<p>I wondered the same thing--and decided to make one of each.  </p><p>That doesn't answer your question, but it reminds me of another question I wondered about at the same time.  What if you make 2 of the parry adorns (or 2 of the deflect adorns); do they "stack", or is the 2nd one redundant?</p>

<p>Hover over avoid, check your %'s that are deflect, and parry.</p><p>Im at work so can't verify, but I believe deflect is way higher % of your avoid than parry is.</p>

<p>Deflect normally sits around 30-40%. Parry is normally around 10% self buffed, maybe 15% with a dirge. </p><p>Deflect, in defensive or mid stance has an uncontested minimum. Which means against really high level and high quality (epic) mobs, your ability to deflect cannot go below that amount. Parry is completely contested.. your chance at parrying that epic's blow is about as good as winning a local lottery ticket.</p><p>Parry gets checked first. If you Parry the blow, you never even get a chance to Deflect or dodge, as it's been stopped. Deflect is second in the list, so you have to wait for those Parries to occur first. This means your chances of Deflection are actually lower than listed, since it's only deflecting what isn't parried. Meaning.. if you have 10% chance to parry, then your 40% deflection is on the remaining 90% (~36% now). It's still higher than parry. With all that in mind, I'd still go with Deflection. The Parry one is there because there's those that can't Deflect that could use something like this.</p><p>And oh dear lord do not even consider the ripostes. 20% of Parries are Ripostes (Dev stated), thus only 2.5% of the 10% will be Ripostes. 45% chance on 2.5% is only a little over 1% chance... and that gets smaller against heroics and epics. 10% chance on even 36% (deflection after parry) is still over 3.5% chance... and that has an uncontested portion too.</p>
