Ughhhhh I really do not like it when the numbers aren't shown properly. I imagine the formula to calculate parry tiers hasn't been discovered/shown either.
'cause I remember reading that the existence of tiers for parry was also disputed somewhat.

Took a bit of digging, as I couldn't precisely remember the site, but I found it!
They still have the tables (though they're not entirely updated as of 2.3's iLvL cap), as well as the old BiS and damage mitigation calculators, though it's a bit moot in comparison to Ariyala's.
Here you go!

Interesting.
The actual Parry stat is also percentage based and is also divided into tiers right?

And just remember, when it comes down to it, the simple way to tank as a warrior, as I use when I am lazy, and have no issues with it is as follows:
open with Tomahawk > Flash > Overpower down to 500tp (for emergencies) > Flash > infuriate > Steel Cyclone> Overpower whenever you have enough tp to not go below 500.
Is it optimal? no.
Does it stop blackmages from pulling hate with trip/quad flares? yes.

Don't be too hard on yourself, either. As both experienced PLD and WAR, WAR is the harder tank to play (but so much more superior IMO)
