Don't underestimate the parry!

Im a scrub with a shield, but i'd suggest to everyone who hasn't given it a fair shot yet to try it out! It's not as hard as it looks, and it's so satisfying to land. Get the Golden Parry or Carian Retaliation AoW and slap it on a shield with good damage negation/guard boost and you're good to go. It might become more useful than you think
