Well-Actually War Trall Acky Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Somthing is seriously wrong about Parry here. I've played through this game three times now, with two warriors and a melee-oriented Servile, and I was constantly finding that Parry is vitle for protection. Blows were constantly getting parried, both Melee attacks and Missle attacks. I can at least point out half a dozen different times were Parry was the difference between life or death. My fights in Gorash-Kel with the Unbound is were it really help. About 4 out of every 10 attacks were getting parried. At first, I wasn't paying much attention to Parry, instead puting my points into Dex. for chances to miss. This didn't work, and I was constantly getting my rump handed to me on a silver pladder, broiled to perfection. Near level 34 in Storm Planes, I adjusted my Skill Point flow is parry, and I was quite safisfied (This was for my second warrior). Like I stated above, a lot of attacks were getting parried, so my Warrior could lay off on the strength and pump other skills that were getting neglected. So, this information about Parry needs to be double checked. Either my game is blessed, or someone didn't experiment enough on Parry. My Servile is still in Mera-Tev, and the points I used in Parry has been keeping his truffle-seeking nostrels out of Deaths' reaches.

Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 If you put a lot of skill points into Parry, you will parry a lot of attacks. Sometimes you will parry a lot of attacks in a row, and you will notice this, which will make it seem like you are parrying even more attacks on average than you really are.

Hatchling Cockatrice ex post slarto Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Most of the negative comments about Parry refer to the fact that it is much weaker than in all previous Spiderweb games. This is true, period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 I ran parry with items up to 17 and the end game had very few places where it helped. It was mostly against battle alpha swarms in Lerman's Pass and Okavano that it helped, but daze would have been equally effective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Barzhal Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Parry was the best in GF2 where instead of 4 out of 10 attacks being repelled, 9.8 out of 10 attacks were repelled with the same skill point investment. Unfortunately, it's never been the same since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
