I'm looking at evolution wiki website and I found two forms to calculation parry.

parrying skill:
Base % Chance of Blocking with a shield = Parrying Skill * 0.3
bushido skill:
%Base Block Chance = ( ((Parrying Skill – Bushido Skill)/4)) + 5

which one will be the true?

It depends whether or not you have trained Bushido.  If you have, then the second calculation is true.  If you have not, then the first is true.

Well, you can get up to 120 skill +more if you get parry jewels and sockets...  But in order to get a 100% block chance without bushido you would neeed..... solving for 100..... 334 skill in parry (without bushido)

Ah, so you'd need 250 parrying w/o Bushido to cap it

That was old UOE where Kyn put in that custom 75% cap. That fix has been reverted and no longer exists. As far as I know, you can again reach 100% Parry.

  Sounds like that old cap needs to be looked into again. There is no reason to allow anyone to have 100% chance to parry an attack. That's just bad news.
