Lord Knight Luring

[Mupfelsan]

Depends on the place and your shield. If you lure at Thors with an alice shield and fortunes sword, you get 40% reduction from card + shield def And the perfect dodge from the sword, so you receive less damage in total in compare to the 50% parry chance. In addition to that the magic is not affected by parry (except grand cross if I remember right) and if you do it right salas and Kasa shouldnt be able to touch you with their close attacks. So most damage you get at Thors luring is magic and ranged physical attacks. But more important is what shinigami mentioned, that you stop walking for a really short time when you parry and maybe get caught by the mobb.
At places like DG you can use parry without this trouble of might getting caught by mobb because only thing that hits you should be the valk pulse, still you get more damage and maybe get dispelled and lose your parry for a moment.
If you don't have a high damage reduc shield and you can't lure big mobbs or just luring DG then parry might be the better choice.
Some people maybe confirm that or correct me if I am wrong ^_^
