Unflappable Drayk Zummi Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 What would rather have as your defensive skill for a singleton? I know it's stupid pitting luck against parry but with it, you get a bonus to armor, resistance, and dodge while parry just gives you dodge albeit in greater value.

Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 You need both as well as hardiness. Parry is needed for certain encounters with monsters that stun especially the scripted ones that also have a high damage area effect attack that will destroy your summoned monsters. There just isn't a better way to block stun attacks with them. Luck, hardiness, and later resistance after that trainer are all helpful in reducing damage taken. Dodge is useless after the first few areas around the Castle Food Depot. I know from trying it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unflappable Drayk Zummi Posted February 28, 2010 Author Share Posted February 28, 2010 Also Luck increases hit chance. That's another point for investing in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Mea Tulpa Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Parry does NOT give you dodging ability. It gives you parrying ability. They are very different. Parry chance is a flat chance that works the same against ALL physical attacks. That's why it works on Torment. Dodging depends on the accuracy of your opponent, which is why it ceases working on Torment. It's a moot point, because you need both. However, my advice would be to make an EW singleton and not invest in Parry until you get 3 points from the trainer. Then you only need a few more to unlock the next skill, and you'll still max out its benefits (at 17) before too long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
