Parry Chance falls dramatically when fighting hunters

So I have roughly 40% parry chance on my valewalker but every hunter I fight seems to drop my parry chance to under 10% any reason why this is?

If i see it right you have multiple attackers on you, at least the screenshot shows another player and a hunter pet. At least for live daoc the parry got splitted for every additional attacker, so if you have 40% you would've 20% if there is 2 attackers, ~13% against 3 attackers and so on.

Also hunter usually use 2h weapons which also reduce parry by 25% here (50% live).

Don't know anymore if styles can also affect the enemy parry rate, i would assume so right now.

- parry chance is reduced by multiple attackers

and that doesn't state which factor is used sadly

edit:
actually i couldn't find even that twohand was also reduced to 1/4 instead 1/2 as i assumed, just dual wield has a according patchnote entry (for block/evade) :thinking:

yeah VW parry sucks vs any 2H troll as well. It's def the 2H weapon, not sure if multiple attackers does anything here.

Pretty sure it does, my hunter with it's pet on a class while I'm meleeing them seems to drop people's defenses pretty effectively. This is only compared to when I fight the same target in a situation where my pet is either rupting another target or on CD. I guess it could be rng, but it happens too consistently for me to think that it is.

somewhere in the patch notes from like 1/2 year after official start of phoenix...
all penalties got reduced to 1/3 instead of 1/2

Only dual wield is 25%, 2h vs parry is still 50%.

As for the attacker stuff, if there are more than 1 attacker every attacker adds 0.55 to a divisor, e. g. chance / 1.1 with 2, chance / 1.65 with 3 etc.
