Both Dodge and Parry work in the same way and characters by default will have a 3% chance to do either, however this is reduced by 1.5% for each level difference. Against a level 61 enemy a level 60 player will have 1.5% of each, level 62 (Dungeon Bosses) = 0% and level 63 (Raid Bosses) = -1.5%.

## Parry

### Monk

$\text{Parry Chance} = {3}$

### Druid

Druids cannot Parry.

$\text{Bonus Parry Chance} = {\text{Bonus Str} \over P} + {\text{Crit} \over D}$
P = Avoidance per Primary = 138.75176305
D = Parry rating per % = 39
Bonus Str is your str minus your base str. If you hover over your str tooltip, the number in yellow is your bonus str.
$\text{Diminished Parry Chance} = { \text{Bonus Parry Chance} \over \text{Bonus Parry Chance} * v + h }$
v = 0.01
h = 1/0.94
$\text{Final Parry Chance} = { \text{Base Parry Chance} + {\text{Base Str} \over P} + \text{Diminished Parry Chance}}$
$= {3 + {450 \over 138.75176305} + \text{Diminished Parry Chance}}$
Base Str is your Str if you take all your gear off. If you hover over your Str tooltip, your base str is the 2nd number in white. For a lvl 60, this is an average of 450. Each race will have different amounts.

### Death Knight

$\text{Bonus Parry Chance} = {\text{Bonus Str} \over P} + {\text{Crit} \over D}$
P = Avoidance per Primary = 138.75176305
D = Parry rating per % = 39
Bonus Str is your str minus your base str. If you hover over your str tooltip, the number in yellow is your bonus str.
$\text{Diminished Parry Chance} = { \text{Bonus Parry Chance} \over ( \text{Bonus Parry Chance} * v + h )}$
v = 0.01
h = 1/0.94
$\text{Final Parry Chance} = { \text{Base Parry Chance} + {\text{Base Str} \over P} + \text{Diminished Parry Chance} + \text{DRW}}$
$= {3 + {450 \over 138.75176305} + \text{Diminished Parry Chance} + \text{DRW}}$

v = 0.02
h = 1/0.94 Final
$\text{Parry Rating} = { \text{Base Parry Chance} + \text{Diminished Parry Chance} + \text{Demon Spikes (If Active)} }$
$= {3 + \text{Diminished Parry Chance} + 15 \text{(If Demon Spikes Active)}}$
Where Demon Spikes grants you Demon Spikes Effect#1 (15%) Parry while active
