They have 'centuries of training' and wisdom, what did you expect? A band of halfwit greenskins or unscrupulous Chaos madmen to be a match for the Eldar race? Degenerate ''dark'' elfs that gave up true power for insanity and emo fashion?
On a more serious note, High elves need some compensating for the pointy helmet aesthetics, this is called balance.
In fact if you look at order, best tank spot: Kotbs, best DPS spot , WL , best healer spot WP, then logic suggest we should ask the question, why are Empire classes OP? Why are dwarf classes underpowered? This of course isn't really true since it disregards many aspects of the game but with the level of reasoning of the OP this appear like science in comparison.

High Elfs truely wield huge power atm. 10% Parry Strikethrough added to 2H was a mistake, Adding insane amount of parry from WS was a mistake, so revert the state of the game before you made the changes to Ws. Basically pls lets just return and use the original formula for calculating this stuff? Double stats in special attacks but double toughness against target.
WS gives no parry, all strikethroughs received a nerf a few patches back.

Back to the High Elf Op issue. SM 2h Has 30% Parry/Block Strikethrough, Just for using 2h and 2 tactics. Wl has 20% Parry Strikethru with 1 tactic and 2h. Dps Am has 10-25% Disrupt/Block Strikethrough.
2 tactis are 50% of the amount available, that's a huge investment and no sane SM will do that since it would suck hard in more important areas. As an SM tank you'll want important tactics such as Rugged, Perfect defences, Vauls buffer and Raked talons, any of those are far superior to strikethough for a SnB SM, then Ishas protection or Hoeth's tempest or any of the healing tactics comes next in the power scale of tactics.
2H SM likewise has more important tactics, dicerning offence can be used in some situations, it's quite good racial tactic but is it better than 160 wounds orc one? I don't think so. Is it better than - 10 Crit Chosen tactic, i don't think so, better than the Gobo run away tactic? Oh c'mon. Apples and oranges here.
Believe me i wish the game offered 6 tactic slot choices per class to fullfill my dream specs.

And SW! Pierce Defenses adds 10% parry/dodge strikethrough, for everyone so SM has 40% Parry strikethrough, 30% still if using just 1 not 2 tactics. WL has 30% as well with pierce defenses.
Sounds a bit too much imo, can we all just admit that mistakes have been made and if there is " Reverse " State of the game semi easily accessible. Change this game to work like it did in 2020? That would be HEAVEN compared to now. 2018 would be even more HEAVEN imo=)
When it comes to stacking class synergies many things looks OP, there are some crazy synergies in this game, how about KOTBS or BG that will lower everone's defences by 10% , make everyone 10% more crit prone and cut off 120 of their wounds in big Aoe cones? On an offtopic note: I have no idea why not every warband include 2H Kotbs or BG, they are the greatest threat for the enemy melee blob, WB leaders only seeking SnB tanks appear almost ignorant about class mechanics.
