[hippyia]

I don't see an attached issue for

[Sulorie]

2h melee weapons have hidden block/parry strikethrough stats, while dual wield 1h weapons give parry.

[Wiede]

Wait... 2h weapons have parry strike through too?

Correct, I'm wondering what has changed in this patch in relation to that.

The parry and block strikethrough when using a 2h weapon was broken for WP the past week. It should be working again now.

Other 2h classes only get a block strikethrough, the parry strikethrough for 2h WP was added back in 2017 sometime.

Perfect. Thank you for the explanation Dalen, this was exactly what i was looking for.

- [15864] [15649] The "+15% critical damage taken" set bonus on WP/Dok Sovereign set has been replaced with "6% Reduced Armor Penetration" & on the RP/AM/Zeal/Shaman Warlord set it has been replaced with a +355 armor bonus

It's honestly ridiculous how big the difference is between the quality of the dok/wp sets and the am/sham/zeal/rp

With this change WP & Dok are literally getting the same 4pc bonus as am/sham/zeal/rp on the heal sov set.
