Quote:
Parry is your weapon's ability to make your opponent do damage on the lower side of their attack power. Attack rating is your weapon's ability to do damage on the higher side of your attack power. Say your opponent's attack power is 115-135, their parry is at 55, attack rating at 70. Your attack power is 115-135, you parry is 75, and your attack rating is 85. Your opponent, with his parry being lower than your attack rating, will cause you to do dmg thats closer to 135. However, your parry being higher than his attack rating will cause him to do damage that is close to 115
