-Targets of [[melee]] attacks can have a chance to '''parry''' each incoming frontal attack. A successful parry nullifies the attack (for the attacker it is like a miss) and reduces the swing timer of the defender. It is a [[passive]] ability which does not require any action to be used. Most melee [[classes]] get this ability — [[warrior]]s at level 6, [[hunter]]s and [[paladin]]s at level 8, and [[rogue]]s at level 12. [[Shaman]]s have a 20 point Enhancement talent ([[Spirit Weapons]]) which grants them the parry ability in addition to threat reduction on their melee attacks.

-==Functionality==
+== Source ==
+This item drops from [[Baleroc]] in the [[Firelands (instance)|Firelands]] on normal mode.
-* If a character or [[mob]] has a parry chance, it's always active and can take effect on every incoming frontal melee attack.
-* If applicable, the parry chance  is added to the attackers [[attack table]].
-* Originally, the only stat which increased the chance to parry is [[defense]] (0.04% per point). However, with the addition of [[Death Knights]], 25% of their [[strength]] is added as parry chance (it is important to note that a [[Death Knight]]'s high parry rating is one of their mitigation mechanics.)
-* Some classes can increase their chance to parry with talents (either direct or via defense).
-* Similarly items can directly increase the chance to parry or indirectly via defense.
-* Attacks from the rear cannot be parried. Mobs sometimes do so anyways - this can be due to a bug or because they turn very quickly in place.
-* After a successful parry, the defenders '''swing timer''' is reduced (or even reset), resulting in an increased damage output (for details see [[Formulas:Parry]]). While tanks like to profit from this effect, melee damage dealers should attack from behind whenever possible.
