Ignore both Fivefold Bulwark Stance and Perfection of the Visionary Warrior for the moment.<br />
<br />
Suppose you have 10 dice to attack with, a very high-damage weapon, and 10 motes to spend on Excellent Strike. Since we're looking solely at parry Charms, you're attacking an Exalt who can't do anything but pick a parry Charm to use each turn.<br />
<br />
You can do the following:<br />
<br />
* Each turn make a Solar with DSD and HGD burn 3m 1W or 8m.<br />
* Each turn make a Sidereal with ItF and SiB burn 12m.<br />
<br />
To make the Solar burn 3m 1W, make a 20-die attack.<br />
To make the Solar burn 8m, make four 7-die attacks.<br />
To make the Sidereal burn 12m, make four 7-die attacks.<br />
<br />
An attacker who can force the Solar to spend the Willpower can easily make a Sidereal hemorrhage motes---fast enough that the Sidereal is likely to run out of Essence before the Solar runs out of either.<br />
<br />
The difference between 2m and 3m may not seem like much for the benefit of not having to roll---but remember that Sidereals don't *have* a 2m version. If you split your pool, they're not spending one extra mote---they're spending 150% of what a comparable Solar is. The proportional difference is huge, and that matters on a Charm where the *attacker* decides how many times a turn you need to use it.<br />
<br />
If you have a persistent Dodge up, the situation favors the Solar to a greater degree. A persistent Dodge means that the Solar can parry significantly larger attacks with just DSD. <br />
