Now it skews your numbers further because while you will still hit (wtf cares), your crit % is lower which lessons your chances of EB stacks, which in turn decreases your dmg intake, which coupled with 2pc decreases it even further and so on and so on.
A KS being parried isn't a big deal at all. I have rarely died because I failed to get a Guard up due to a parried KS, and when I say rarely, it is close to about once or twice in over 300+ attempts on heroic bosses this tier. The better players will pool Chi and maintain their 99% shuffle uptimes, Guard on CD or when needed, etc and that parried KS just means a little loss in dmg. Thats it. The only time it may hurt is at the beginning of the fight where a KS is parried. The very 1st one.
