parry stance worth it?

so is the skill worth useing?
it says it significantly increases pdef/mdef but word is its more like 10%
it also says it deacreases speed atack speed etc, what extent is the decrease?

if you were to duke it out with someone wouldnt ripose stance be more effective since it will reflect 30% of damage wihile lowerering stats by about 10%
as opposed to parry stance which may be more like blocks 10% damage and lowers attack speed by 10% esentially negating any effect the skill has

If your talking about the 78 skill BH gets?, Then yes, it's the ONLY skill worthfull to get after 76+ for a dwarf.

It increase M.def with 20% and P.def with 20%. You should be able to keep the stance up for 6-7 min to.

Dwarfs easely pass 1000 M.def with it anyhow :) and about 1300 with an SWS :)

Edit OK i was wrong :P but not to far off

P.Def. +25%, M.Def. +25%, Speed -10%, Accuracy -4, Atk. Spd. -20%, MP regen per tick cost varies based on your level (base is 0.5)

P.Def. +25%, M.Def. +25%, Speed -10%, Accuracy -4, Atk. Spd. -20%, MP regen per tick cost varies based on your level (base is 0.5)

maestro gets it too btw

therein lies the problem +25% pdef and -20% attack speed
that means that you are essentially %5 stronger
thats cool if all you wanna do is soak up a bit of extra damage but in a fairly equal fight wouldnt ripose be more effective with its 30% damage reflection and about 10-15% attack speed loss

kinda hard to say since ripose doesnt reflect skill damage but parry does stop 25%
