Armor Adorment choice

Greetings!I have a nice quest-reward forearm I can begin wearing next level (80). It has much better MIT than my current forearm piece... 542 as opposed to 463. The current piece, however, has both +4 defense & +4 parry. The new has only +4 defense with no parry. Additionally, I have a +67 vs slash/crush/pierce adornment on the current forearm.I'm looking at either another vs slash/crush/pierce adornment for the new pierce, or for roughly twice the money get a +7 parry adornment. But I'd no real idea which is the better, or why. What do I lose with either option (compared to my current stats), and what will I gain?Thanks in advance!

The parry adornment is infinitely better once all your pieces have about the same mit as the piece you described. The diminishing returns on mit means it becomes pretty useless after a while, while the uncontested parry on that adornment helps your survivability a lot. Same with the wrist adornments, and the block adornment for your shield. (Would say weapon, too but not sure how many use power proc adornments there).(Edit:typo)
