Created an account just to comment on this. I'm really disappointed that this isn't a thing. Just started playing and I was excited to check out the ranger and really wanted to have fun with some dual wielding builds. I was already let down that I couldn't block melee attacks, and when I saw parry in the tree I got kind of confused/even more disappointed.
I'd hope they address it but by the time they do my GamePass sub will likely be over :(
