Use mode: Passive
Description: Your offhand weapon damage penalty is reduced to 38%.
Up to 2.1 times a turn, you have a 14% chance to parry up to 4 damage (based on your offhand weapon damage) from a melee or ranged attack. The number of parries increases with your Cunning. (A fractional parry has a reduced chance to succeed.)
A successful parry reduces damage like armour (before any attack multipliers) and prevents critical strikes. It is difficult to parry attacks from unseen attackers and you cannot parry with a mindstar. Dual Weapon Mastery
