PUHLEASE!!!!!
A real fight is usually 1/2 parry as every attack has a counter attack that you are then open to. But this is POTCO and reality doesn't enter too much into the equation.
Standing there and taking every hit might be appealing to you but I for one like the ability to block the occasional incoming strike. Especially since it works when holding other weapons (or no weapon at all). You never know when it's the difference between winning the fight and waking up in jail.
To take it even further, I would love an option to switch to pure parry if you find you are outmatched in a fight to hold off while you gather help. But until that happens, I'll settle for the random "Parry" flashing on the screen. (So if you have it unlocked, you use it, you're either not paying attention or trying to be macho)
I'm not saying max it but 2 or 3 points aren't the waste everyone seems to think it is.
First rule of sword fighting... never parry with your head.
