What is with parry!

[Ripitgood]

Yes, This is a rant.

I want to know, Why! For the love of god! Why even with the Expertise cap, My shaman and rogue get parried ALLLL THE $#@$!%TIME.

I don't understand, I know classes have abilities to parry and that's one thing. But, my toons are CONSTANTLY parried. Especially when it matters. It makes NO SENSE.

They are soft capped. Not hard capped. Soft cap deals with attacks from behind, and hard deals with attacks from the front. Plain and simple. Makes perfect sense. You wont by any means Ever want hard cap for exp or hit in PvP.

Parry is why I don't PvP with melee characters.
No such nonsense for casters.

Thats the pve definition. There is no avoidance from behind against players. There's no such thing as exp soft cap in pvp. The only "cap" there is in pvp is the parry chance an UH dk stacking strength in every spot has, which is like 33% parry or something like that. This out of control scaling is something they are fixing (I hope) in WoD.

Welcome to melee :P We get parried alot but we make up for it by getting alot of our energy etc refunded if this happens (not sure about rage, but I play a druid and we do). I do agree though that with us getting exp we should be able to hit people more. Hopefully WoD with the removal of hit and exp then we will get a bit more landed hits.

Yea it makes absolutely no sense why they've had RNG avoidance for so long in PvP. Classes that take bigger hits have tons and tons of ways to make up for it through other means. And if they don't, give them those means. Make armor matter again if it's the case.

It's just such a piss easy way to make PvP more enjoyable for melee on melee action just like making trinket baseline for everyone.

If the level 100 health pools are any indication, they aren't fixing scaling at all and will probably make it worse. Just flat out cutting health pools in half is going to make the game a lot better in PvP.
