Ok, I see a TON of people whining about how they cannot hit anymore. I always
though setting parry 51 pretty much hosed your chance to hit.... but either
that was not true or some people whine too much. And if the old system
practically had no reduction in hit chance, then it was out of whack
anyways... just kind of curious which is it? Old system out of whack or new
system sucking or just whining.... I mean if you hit (for example) 75% in old
system with parry 0 and 67% with parry 51, then I think that was jusyt bugged
out

the problem is, people are getting fucked hand over fist
because we NEED our FULL defense to kill these monsters in this game
monsters have been tuned and tweaked, every single one of them
suspecting that every player is using parry 51, every mob has been
coded that way and since forever, now what happened is
we need to turn parry to 0 to even hit the mob. so basicly we
get our assess full serviced washed, buffed, dryed and spit polished
then handed back to us

The whining is to the point. In the old system, you missed much more with
parry than without, it showed clearly in summary statistics. But the problem
with the new system is that now you for sure lose half the hits. Combine that
with the weapon speed tune, which already is quite a penalty with bigger
weapons - quite often you end up getting several rounds of getting absolutely
no hits in. I think that's insane.
