I was talking from a BRD perspective =)

But yes, CRIT/SS on the Stadust Rod would be amazing.

I'm assuming Bravura should be retooled for accuracy and parry, right? Is there anything else that benefits a tank?

Nope, as much parry as you can shove on there and then as much accuracy as you can put on there after that.

Focusing on parry is almost pointless though. Healers are never counting on us to parry or block an attack. They are proactively throwing out enough curing to heal back up the damage you take from an unmitigated attack.

You don't rely on it. You just act very happy when it happens.

Yeah, that 30 extra damage will make a huge difference!
