The Horrible Effect of Parry

[Icebird]

I think you misunderstand the situation. It is not solely the tank's attacks. In this case a bunch of people were all melee dpsing from the same side as the tank and Gruul parried 9 out of dozens of attacks.

Depends on whether the combat log was edited or not. We know that were 9 parries in a short period of time, but the actual number of successful attacks in the that same 4 second period is unknown.

Next question: Is this behaviour universal or limited to just Gruul? One combat log from a single encounter isn't conclusive evidence. (Unless this feature had been added recently I would have thought it would have been noticed much much earlier).

The first sentence of Bolty's post should also be edited to clarify that the issue is parries by the boss on player attacks, and not parries by players on the boss's attacks. (I'm sure he meant the former but it read like the latter).
