Parry nerfed

[Student of Trinity]

So it seems Parry has been weakened a lot in G3: with Parry of 10, my early game Guardian is getting a parry chance of around 20%.

 

What it looks like is that the cheap cost of Parry as a skill is sort of misleading, because to get anything worthwhile you really need a lot of points in it: 10 is the new 4.

 

But, if you put it like that, I guess it's okay. Or?

Parry is defiantly weaker. The first time I played I put a good number of points (12) into it thinking it would prevent me form getting killed, but discovered I was getting hit anyway. The times thereafter the only points that went into parry were what the canisters gave. Having used those 12 points in endurance, spell craft, and tool use was far more beneficial.

At level 15 parry provides 30% chance of deflection. Parry may not totally prevent damage. But it does reduce damage significantly. While it might be annoying that most creatures still hit you, look at how many HPs they are taking off.

As i have pointed out before; Yes, Parry is nerfed. Parry shpould be ignored alltogether unless you are playing as a Guardian, something i have never done so far since recent reports indicate that they suck nads.

It wasn't really worthwhile for anyone but Guardians even in G2; the point is that even for Guardians, who can easily get really high Parry, it now seems a poor investment.
