So my understanding is that for Swrodsman, Knight and Warrior, there is only one type of Parry (Parry against physical attack). And the only status that affects Parry rate is STR. Is this right?

In another words, the Parry rate that INT affects does not apply to the above 3 classes.

[acroshin]

As far as I know, yea that's correct. I check my knight's stat and when you put the cursor over INT it says the stat doesn't apply to the current class.

Thanks. Does that mean the 3 classes above do not parry against magic attack (like Bapho's Meteo)?

Let me rephrase. Is there a Stat on the 3 classes that boost magical defense?

[acroshin]

Nope, as far as I know defense and parry work agaisnt magic. Either that or there's no magic defense stat in the game and you take the full blunt of magic damage, but I do know I've parried agaisnt a magic attack many times. Someone feel free to correct me though.

Parry works against all incoming damage except DoT effects, I believe. This includes Magic and Physical attacks.

Thanks. So for Knight, the only reason to boost INT is if you have Battle Tactics, right?

[acroshin]

Pretty much, yup.

[tabernacle]

Cool thanks. A semi-related question. I read Parry is capped at 70%. Is it true?

For a main tank, what is a good amount of Parry % to aim for?

[Chocs]

From what we've seen and heard so far, the NATURAL parry caps at 70%. This is the Parry you get from stat bonuses. The Warrior's Parrying skill adds on top of that cap.
