Anybody know what the new hard cap is for defense/parry?

It used to be 455 cap, scaleable up to 475 according to the level of the raid mob you were fighting. Or at least that's what I have been told.

I'm sure that cap has increased in RoK. Anybody know what it is now?

never was 455 the cap.

Quite awhile ago stat caps where changed. The formulas have stayed the same since, but those numbers can now go up due to higher level.

Max Mit/Resists: level x 150 (12000 vs lvl 80 mob)
Stat Caps: level x 15 +20 (1220 vs lvl 80 mob)
Skill Caps: level x 6.5 (520 vs lvl 80 mob)

Some people try to get those numbers higher than cap so that their skills are more effective vs higher level raid mobs (ex. a level 80 guardians Defense skill "caps" at 520, but they might try to get that number to 540 to provide a bit of a buffer vs mobs higher than level 80 or to compensate for possible debuffs).

isnt it 450 for a lvl 70 mob, so 455 for a lvl 71 mob etc?

Close. Skill cap is 455 vs a lvl 70 mob (70 x 6.5 =455).
