Sure parry does work...
The benefit with 30 parry is you gonna block often vs assasins
The benefit of going 44 slash instead 29 slash is like 10-15 dmg a swing (be honest, do you use the 39 or the 44 style?)
29 is anytime slash style amethyst... and since someone said : we dont do a lot of damage which is correct... why not go for defense instead.
Thing is ; when they cant hit you very often, but you take little naps of their hp, you'll win in the end if you use correct twisting.
You cant beat a pala 1on1 (when not fighting casters that is)when the fight lasts a long time.... thats why defence is so important... the longer the fight lasts, the more chance you have to win...
Really
Having played my Pally since retail, back when the chants weren't really worth much at high end, I went for 50 slash, which when I finally got it I found wasn't worth it because most RvR fights are over to fast fo you to get more thn 1 or 2 combos in, unless you are lucky/unlucky enough to find a 1 on 1 situation. Once Mythic introduced the extra chants and gave a respec I thought long and hard about what spec I wanted for my Pally, I decided not to bother with parry at all, since theres almost no application for it if using slash, sure, it may add a little to your defence and stuff, but as things stand at the moment, parry/block are still bugged and won't be fixed until next patch, so you wont do either as they were designed to work. There is a reason to go above 29 slash, certainly for those still xping, its called riposte/befuddler combo, chains off a block and befuddler has a medium stun, both together use the same amount of end as amethyst and if you are lucky enough and have a fast enough weapon, you can redo the combo again, hence not being hit for a fair bit and still having plenty of end left. The other advantage of having higher slash than 29 is your damage variance won't be so wild, so you'll hit for a more consistant amount, rather than alot one time, then a little tickle the next.
It all comes down to personal prefference really, I like my pally having 39slash, I do good damage for my class, in PvE I block quite a bit, in RvR I don't so much due to the bug, but come next patch that should be sorted, I still have 200+ spec points to spend so I'll see how things are after we get the new patch, but at the moment, I'll not be speccing parry.
Oh, and good luck on finding a 1 on 1 where you actually get to stand toe to toe with your opponent, they are rare and should be treasured.
