Last parry chance

From the latest patch notes:

New Item Property – Last Parry Chance

When players parry any attack with a shield or weapon it will now display the last parry chance % on the item.


Can anyone clarify what this means?

one more time, since you didn't read what i wrote, it will show you your percentage chance to parry an attack on your last successful parry.

so if you have 45%dci, and 40% chance to parry, and you parry, it will show 40%
if you drop bushido, and just use a shield and parry, it will show a different amount.

it is not an added enhancement, it just more info now.

I'm still dumb. Don't understand how that information helps you, to know whata chance you had...

In a perfect world, it makes it easier for people that are testing withoit being hit with lower defense.

So your parry chance normal is...
And with evasion its...
With bushido its...

It's a property that pops up on your Wep/Shield after you Parry an attack on TC. They've added it because they're going to be nerfing how effective Parry is for Mages due to PvP, so being able to see the actual Parry % will help people test it.

I'm just happy those past Devs gave us actual resists and not "resists when last hit by a mongbat". Interesting design choice.

And oif course that will wash over into PvM and ruin it as well...

On the Official UO Forums, the devs were talking about Necromancy also being in the list of skills that when paired with Parry would trigger lower chance to Parry than normal, that would mess with some Sampire/Wammy templates in PvM. For example, when my Wammy does Chief Paroxysmus, i swap my GM Resist for GM Parry, and that would trigger the proposed Parry nerf.
Honestly, it only makes sense for Magery+Parry to trigger the nerf.

Right, because they don't have this data on hand and in easy to view formats.

Now this is a valid fear.

how many parry mage builds are actually being used for any higher end PvM?
I wish I had your confidence that they work out a fix specific to mages and not all parry users. Cause there was never ever collateral damage after a nerf.. :rolleyes:
