piercing and parry

[RogueTigeR]

so i understand the importance of dex w/ using piercing... damage/accuracy...but as in some weapons...str determines how often you get parried... is this figured into piercing weapons...or is it dex as well...b/c if you think about how you would use a piercing weapon.. it should really be determined by dex + agi or the likes...

i mean to get parried upon..not for you to parry

Parry relies on Dex + Agi.
Blocking relies on Str + Agi.

The Strikethrough skill implemented and now reads: Every point in this skill reduces the chance of your melee attacks being blocked or parried by 0.15% if using one-handed weapons or 0.3% if using two-handed weapons for a 15% or 30% reduction at skill of 100.

Strikethrough is a level 60+ skill.

lol....my bad ...i meant stat

[Hunters Bane]

oh, stat...I don't think stats negatively affact parry/block etc

aside from agi...which make you miss

But then how come that the parry skill provides a chance of up to .2% per skill level to parry?

Str description states that the stat plays a role in how likely you are to prevent someone from parrying with some weapons. It doesn’t explicitly tell which weapons, but I’m guessing it’s for avoiding parries against staves and crushers, hopefully not slashers and whips (because if that would be the case there’d be hardly any reason to put more than a few points in Dex). For avoiding parries against piercers, dex is probably the only relevant stat.
