Def/Parry

rv5580 · 03-04-2010, 07:52 PM

I have noticed alot of +def and +parry stats on plate tank gear as well as a ton of adornments that buff it as well. My question is that for raids do mobs still ignore contested avoidance there by making def and parry worthless? Is there a special number we need to hit like say over the mobs +melee stat to make it viable?

Is anyone going to answer this post? The way I understand, is that Parry is worthless against Epic mobs. I also have noticed that parry isnt too great period on instance mobs. So is parry still there or is it ghosting on us?

Pretty sure the consensus is it isn't worth a F word for intercourse!

There is a skill level for defense, parry, and deflection which would make them useful. The problem is that this number is higher than anyone is capable of reasonably attaining.
