9255, skill "parry" is not improving
Posted by Healer on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
i'm healer, at 21th level i started to practice parry and shield block, they both were 80 %
now:
Level 11: shield block 95%
Level 18: parry 80%
parry never improved though i fought with mace all time

9262, Could there be more?

My assumptions:
1) Parrying only improves on actual successful parries (i.e. not "learn from mistakes" for parry).
2) Parrying against weapons you do not know results in less successful parrying.
3) The shield block check is after the parry check, and does not care (more or less, for our purposes) which weapon type it is blocking.
Is that apt?
Conclusion: If healer was fighting against a mob who is using a weapon he doesn't know, the attacks are hitting his successful shield block more than any successful parry. Hence, the improving on shield block, while parry gets little work out, so to speak.
Oh, and I'm not advocating any bug, just trying to shed some light. Unless I'm wrong and RNG is going haywire ;-).
