So I stuck in parry/ward for dance/dodge, and perhaps it's the flourintine thing, but seems to me like this is opposite of the attitude where Ward sucks for good parrying sword specs, but is good for axe and mace specs who parry considerably worse. I get what your saying, and like I said, I haven't had either, but I'm still a little confused. Fire giant sword w/ dance = Fire giant sword w/ ward? Or better or worse? I think I'm going to forget I asked this question as the likely benefit of knowing the answer will be none since who knows if I'll ever take either legacy.
