Parry and how it feels

I like how the devs are introducing another base defensive mechanic. There was only blocking, so I liked the introduction of parry. I hope to see more defensive mechanics added in with items/weapons like energy shield from focus, etc. I haven't been playing much PoE2 much since I am still waiting on a new graphics card to run the game (especially for multiplayer). I don't think Parry is a bad mechanic, but I get some people think it's pointless. Either Parry is truly pointless and requires a revision/buff (which I don't think is the case). Or people tied with a certain style of gameplay that focuses less attention and more on speed and clarity. I like mechanics like parry and blocking, especially when I'm playing Hardcore, but if I were a softcore zoomer, then I could disregard such mechanics like blocking and parry.
