Parry on Heavy
Nobody1019
This past war I used Hype to take on electro. I did a heavy on him, he resisted and PARRIED me.... how? Since when can heavies be parried?
Is that a risk I'm gonna take with hype in war now?

Stand Your Ground mastery.

To ellaborate, the Stand Your Ground mastery (found in the bottom path of the main defense tree) gives you a 17-50% chance to resist a heavy attack. In other words, let you block a heavy. I have mine set at 5/5 for the full 50% chance because my dash-back/evade skills are at the mercy of the Kabam system and I end up blocking (or trying to block) a fair amount of heavy attacks.
When it's combined with the Parry mastery, it allows you a 17-50% chance to Parry a heavy attack if you time your block just right and the SYG chances allow it.
Because this is a mastery-based thing, you will only face this in places where you fight against player-based defenders (arenas & AW). Because you only see it in a limited number of places and the AI doesn't Parry very often, very few people ever see it.
