Attack Ratio..

[Devotia]

Mhm, i can see no difference when i use vital spot (target -43 parry) and hawk (+17 attack rating) vs. none of them.

I think -43 parry AND +17 AR should make a recognicable difference?

At a certain point, any extra AR or parry resistance will be completely negated. If you're doing 1100-3000 damage listed, you are incapable of doing more than 3000 damage, even if you had -430 parry and +1700 AR. It's possible that your AR vs their PR is stacked well enough in your favor, that you can't see any difference. If it won't kill you, try taking a few shots on a dark orange/barely red mob with and without.

Alternatively, vital spot just isn't implemented ;p

I ll try another 100+100 Hits on an orange mob later/tomorrow.

For black robbers and earth ghosts, im next to sure that there is no noticable difference (400 hits noted total). However, you might be right that the parry effect is already "maxed" against those mobs, as i also have the parry passive. But there *should* be some noticable effect at orange mobs, i think

what about testing the attack ratio directly? Using the bird buff I guess. Parry's effect is questionned by mahy, but finding no proof of effect of an attack ratio buff in a statistic sample would be informative.

BTW this thread is titled "attack ratio"', not parry.
