Hi Exiles (and GGG),
Just wanted to showcase my parry focused amazon setup that I played in SSF that outperformed my expectations. Considering my playtime and my gear, this build had very good damage through burst damage into the parry debuff window
while maintaining good defenses through Amazon's Stalking Panther + ES/EVA.

For Weapon Swap we use Pounce + Snipers Mark + Charged Mark, for a source of 50% shock from weapon swap passive points, alongside massive QOL from pounce itself and the mobility it provides.

With this character being limited in SSF for gear, you can easily get double damage with expensive lineage support gems, and a better spear.

For Leveling you can literally start this build from the start, as both explosive spear and disengage are available very early from the Gem Cutting Menu.

Overall, Parry is in a strong state if you can adapt to its playstyle. Although there are further improvements with options added for stun threshold scaling to allow us to scale up to match map mods, as well as making disengage not remove the parry debuff and perhaps to amplify it, similar to how armour break was changed recently.

Fun build, lvled as one in ssf and just got to maps, feels balanced and powerful to play. Getting the unique buckler would probably be the hardest part for me now haha

I actually league started a frenzy charge abusing explosive spear/parry Amazon.

Towards maps my clear was S tier but single target was meh, I couldn't figure out a way to improve, especially keeping up frenzy charges via parry/disengage was pure hell on single target.
