>If you can't understand that every enemy in ZZZ wants you to parry, I don't know what to tell you.
Well yes, you don't know, I've noticed that already.
>WOW!!!
Yep. AND also higher absolute value, higher burst uptime, higher reliability, and lower activation opportunity cost.
Wow indeed, glad you understand now.
>Let's draw out a little timeline
Is this your goofy way of trying to imply "you're only getting one stun anyway"?
But that's also wrong.
Timing of the stun matters - be it Deadly or Shiyu. In fact, in Shiyu your """""""""""""timeline""""""""""""" would often look like
>Scenario 1: 10x non-stunned attacks -> 5x stunned attacks
>Scenario 2: 8x non-stunned attacks -> 5x stunned attacks
Guess which run is quicker.
Being able to kill in a single stun but not needing two is actually pretty rare, most of the time it's one of the two.
Guess which set is going to get a quicker second stun.
In Deadly, getting a stun earlier rather than later means you can fit more of your damage into the three minutes fight. The window is 15 seconds after all, there's a huge opportunity to get a stun off but not have enough time to use it fully.
Not to mention, my disingenuous friend, that one-two attacks were stated specifically about her Ultimate, which will literally give you 1-2 extra Daze (out of 100). The increase affects the entirety of her kit.

>but your whole take on parrying being a damage loss is so incredibly retarded that I'll refrain from commenting on it any further.
Well you should've refrained to begin with, because you are simply wrong.
I haven't had a single case of Defensive Assist improving my time and score on its own.
Defensive/Evasive Assists are done to hit specific Stun timings, interact with specific mechanics, or gain Decibels.
Using either outside of those specific cases is a DPS loss - I had plenty opportunities to compare. You don't take all Assist opportunities, only some of them.
Evasive Assists are easier to accommodate, I had Rina's work great a couple of times, but it's still a very rare occurrence.
The point is, you are switching off your DPS to get an Assist off. Switching off your DPS is a damage down. Big shock, I know.
