Parry ratio for a pure str fire glavie

[ThunderRawr]

I started a new character - pure str fire glavie. I also level the lightning tree to get the grass walk. The very bottom skill (Heaven's force) increases the parry ratio.

I Am still not quiet sure what parry ratio is and what it does. Can someone explain.

Do I (pure str fire glavie) need it?

Parry ratio is the chance you will take an amount of damage in the lower range of the opponent's attack power. It's not absolutely necessary because you have all that HP and can tank fairly well, but I suppose every bit counts.

i believe it lowers there highest damage to you..

lets say they hit you( without parry buff) from 250-300 dmg on you... parry will lower there high point.

so then if u do have parry reduction ill be more like this 250-275

I am going strictly by the stickied guide for a pure str fire glavie, and it doesn't say anything about this skill. But it sounds useful. So should I still get it?

[vulperin]

It is useful and one should get it if he/she has enough SP. If not just stick to fire and heuskal
