SE has said they're retooling parry to not be completely, utterly worthless but I'm not holding my breath on it.
Parrying and Evasion/Dodge are both garbage right now. If they DO opt to bring back a parry tank, I suspect them to throw that on SAM. It's similar to the original FFXI concept and really, RDM would feel so weird as a tank. It's never been a tank (barring hilariously broken implementation in, again, FFXI and abusing evasion and ninja tricks).
I can't wait for a reveal so I can stop walking myself in circles over this. I've spent so much time thinking about it already.
