On UO Enigma, players can benefit from damage reduction in PvE (Player vs. Environment) situations when they have skill in Parry — even if they aren't actively using a shield or weapon. This passive effect reduces incoming damage from monsters based on your Parry skill.
The amount of damage reduced scales with your Parry skill:
| Parry Skill | Damage Reduction % |
|---|---|
| Below 50.0 | 0% |
| 50.0 - 59.9 | 0.2% |
| 60.0 - 69.9 | 0.5% |
| 70.0 - 79.9 | 1.5% |
| 80.0 - 89.9 | 2.5% |
| 90.0 - 99.9 | 3.0% |
| 100.0 - 104.9 | 5.0% |
| 105.0 - 109.9 | 6.0% |
| 110.0 - 114.9 | 10.0% |
| 115.0 - 119.9 | 12.0% |
| 120.0+ | 15.0% |
If a monster deals 100 damage to you and you have 120.0 Parry, the damage you receive is reduced by 15%:
100 - (100 * 0.15) = 85 damage taken
