Also, for brawlers, parry is the least of their avoidance skills. Deflection is the brawler equivelant to Block. Although parry does come 1st in the avoidance check cycle, without Tsunami, the avoidance reports will show more deflection than anything else (it's uncontested avoidance in def and mid stances). Parry & riposte will only show up heavily (assuming no uncontested parry adornments) when Tsunami is up.
Only a small portion of it is... the equiv of having 1 round shield equiped.
