Even if your timing isn’t great, you can run up to a few trash zeds, parry basically any time, and you’ll likely block one of the attacks and get it. Also consider that the damage resistence from parry is greater than that from resistence, and applies to ALL damage types.

Parrying is a cornerstone skill of playing berserker, and the buffs you gain on a successful parry are huge. massive buffs after a successful parry.Īgain, I vote parry all the time. The heal rate is capped, which is the main problem with the vampire skill.įlat Siren and Bloat damage resistence Vs.
