Demons can parry too, and all sorts of other crap. It's not just griffons.

I'm pretty sure only griffons and a certain cabal can parry with their bare hands. The NPCs you are fighting may be griffon NPCs that are just disguised as something else. It's not the end of the world man.

Wrong on both counts. Pretty well anything in the game that has a "natural attack" can parry now.

Also....OMFG11~!~~!!!!! THE WORLD IS ENDING BECAUSE OF IT!!!!!

So anyone with self defense and brawling can parry bare handed? Those are natural attacks, right?

Any NPC in the game, lets say instead. If it's got claws, it can parry. If it's flagged as having a slashing or crushing attack, it can parry. In fact, it's pretty well safe to just assume that all NPCs can parry unarmed now, whether it has eparry or not.

In terms of pve, at best it is annoying. Not something to cry about at best a race that needed a good buff got it

This actually helped classes like the scout. If you're so worried about it, use a weapon that has a massive, or no parry flag attached to it.

Forgot this is a boost to scouts, good point.

At the risk of pissing off the scouts, I am making a change for next update so that only sentient creatures with natural weapons can parry. Therefore badgers and other wild animals will no longer parry after this change.

That's a poor change for two reasons. One, it nerfs scouts, a class that didn't need a nerf. Two, the majority of the NPCs that can parry now that are used to level off of are sentient anyways, and so no real difference will be experienced in regard to this topic in exchange for the nerf to scouts.
