[dev1049] New weapon skills

[Kristal]

14 WS in total, 20 jobs so I'm sure multiple jobs share these. It'd stand to reason you'd need relatively high combat skill in order to use them, just putting them out of the use of any job lower than B skill.

Oh, they will be shared, but it remains to be seen if some jobs get them. RDM has higher sword skill then DRK, and actually uses swords, but it doesn't get access to a lot of sword weaponskills (in particular elemental sword WS). Also, I hope the H2H one isn't another Tornado Kick.. even though PUP can use it, you'd need Footwork and MNK kick attack gear to make decent use of it.

Footwork doesn't have any effect on weapon skills, other than TP return because of the higher delay.

It does affect TP return more than that.
With Footwork active you get FULL tp return from the first TWO hits of a WS, instead than just the first one like it normally happens.

Not correct. If Footwork is active, Dragon Kick and Tornado Kick use your kick damage (base from H2H skill, +18 from Footwork itself, and whatever +dmg from foot gear) as base weapon damage rather than your normal weapon. And one might pedantically argue that it affects all (h2h) weaponskills because of the attack boost you get while Footwork is up.
