Sorry that was two isolated thoughts running together. I know the parry is governed by block, but OP also mentioned lacking damage which... same rules as all weapons, gotta train to the same skill before comparing. :D

Yea I have a character who trained to level 50 unarmed by using shields for heavy retaliation damage which simultaneously leveled my blocking. Punching trolls to death.
