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? -------------------- We're not doing cool. We're doing pretty. Posts: 3335 | Registered: Thursday, September 4 2003 07:00

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.

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. -------------------- The Knight Between Posts.

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. -------------------- "..The seventh wave of Thrall stumbled and climbed over the slippery, piled dead and Mazzarin saw The Watcher with them and at last knew the number of his days."
