What on earth is Parry?

[pikapikapika]

Also, I guess gunner can counter, and also have passive block?  Does parry have anything to do with gunner, warden, sum, or astro?

Nope, as far as I know, only destro, bd, wl and bm can parry.
Parry is basicaly like block or counter. If they hit you with a skill that does not pierce parry in that 0.5 sec while your parry is active, your enemy will get stunned.

parry is often a .5 second window exception storm astro and fire fm, and results in stun in most(all?) cases

 

block is always frontal as well as counter. block tends to be a longer window than counter. counter activates something usually, block is simple damage prevention from that direction.

 

im guessing this is on topic due to the recent insignia system, so ill post some recommendations on that system.

 

dont guild any and certainly dont try fuse.

just save them up and grow HM level

Depends what you want to do: kfm love counter based insignia , if it's sentinel, pretty solid to have in between best defense procs in solo dungeon or just dpsing in general.

something ive seen thats less clear is stuff like assassin counter only does timestitcher rarely while any of the timestitcher block just soak hits and reduce skill cd to near nothing

 

and i think kfm counter even procs timestitcher multiple times

 

not that assassin could have possible improvement to its counter, maybe it could, but perhaps there could be better insignias all around?

 

insignia is a good system for the most part if you ignore the very likely potential for the pay to win to glare through
