Parry rating from STR - Build 10072

[Shornaal]

Simple question for those in the PTR: i'd like to know (more or less) how much parry % we'll gain from these last patchnotes:

Parry Rating: The amount of parry rating required per percentage of parry has been reduced by 8%. This is before diminishing returns. Combined with other changes, this makes dodge rating and parry rating equally potent before diminishing returns apply. Parry still diminishes more quickly than dodge.

Surely it won't be much, but i'm curious.

However much parry you gain from strength through forceful deflection you will gain 15% more after the patch.

For example, say you gain 6% parry chance from strength now. 15% of that is roughly 1% more parry chance, giving you 7% additional parry chance from forceful deflection in 3.2.

Edit: don't mind me, misread the patch notes.

It is of course actually 8% more.

In my DPS gear (sorry, logged out with it, and i'm at work), I have like 1400 Str, meaning 350 parry rating.
With the patch you will need 45,4 parry for 1%, instead of 49. I will get another 0.6% parry chance before DR. I would not expect more than 0.3 or 0.4% in Tank gear with DR.

Edit: Just checked another tank, he has 1100 Str in Tank Gear, meaning he gains a 0.4 - 0.5 % parry before DR ... the difference will be minimal after DR, maybe 0.2 or 0.3%

@Shiira: Where is your 15% coming from ? I read 8% on first page

It's 15% less from dodge and 8% more from parry, maybe Shiira inverted them.

Btw thanks

Hmmm 0.2/0.3%, that's a HUGE buff ;D (better than nothing, i have to admit).

[Shiira]

Yeah I saw a 15% and a 8% in the patch notes and my brain flipped them around.

When i checked my numbers on Live Vrs PTR i got this..


In full T8.5 and applicable gear for ulduar..

30.21% dodge 19.28% parry (Live)
28.63% dodge 20.14% parry (PTR)


*sigh* just doesn't seem worth it for what .85% parry lol..bye bye dodge =(
