Parry Ratio I believe makes the enemy hit you with the lower end of their attack spectrum. For example, let's say a move has an attack of 114~146. A standard hit let's say is 400. However, with a higher parry it would be 350. See? It just makes the foe hit you for less.
Hit Ratio I believe makes you hit higher. Basically reduces your foes parry ratio.

Get the lightning passive first, and then decide if you want concentration.

No that's Piercing force and it can increase your damage by a ton, especially if your a nuker.

i thought concentration series decreases the chances of crit?

Nope, only crit ratio on shields can reduce probability of crits.

I'd say get it. Every bit of defense helps esp since ur pure int and lack hp/defense.

I'm a full STR blader, and I'm taking both the Concentration series and the Vitsal Spot series in Force, since I'm levelling both trees anyway. I figure every little bit helps, and a blader with both will decrease the opponents hit ratio, dodge ability
and increase his own parry ratio. That means less damage x 2 for you + more damage to your opponent.
Add to that a good shield with crit reduce and you've got a nice tank.
(I know you're a nuker, I just wanted to add some info on my build)
