Are we sure that people just weren't lacking in common sense and jumped to conclusions when they saw plds skilling parry with earth staves?

I think it's actually from when people would use SAMs to skill up with Earth Staff and Seigan/3E.

BlueGartr's finest? There were more but I didn't get screenshots of everyone.
Helping some random PUG with Carabosse as it's better than just sitting in Port Jeuno doing nothing.
The glory that is Abyssea...
At least he's using thew instead of tantra tathlum? xD
I bet the only reason he's using Thew is because he wiped to the ironclad.
Accidental idle set?
Idle in an Attack+5 ring?
You could hope... but no, everything was full timed.
He was dead, shockingly.

you gotta be Kibbing me...
That's clearly his Attack+ build, guys. Gosh!
In all the time I've spent skilling parry on NIN or THF I've got...maybe 10 skills ups? On PLD...well I did shield for a while so I got ~25. The other 300 some odd skills came on DRK/SAM/WAR.
Edit: Also MNK using staff sup
The myth that I've always heard about parry is that they can only happen if your attack round does not happen at the same time as the mobs attack round. Therefore higher delay weapons/2H weapons = more parry, but I have never seen any test to confirm this. I will admit that I seem to get parry skill a lot when proc'ing GKT or Staff on NIN in abyssea, but it's very possibly coincidental.
