Crit Hit Kick Based WS

Spike damage "mitigation" on one NM that poses no actual threat? That is the best you can come up with? Shaving a few minutes off killing one mob in the game does not a good JA make.

This ^. Except, hell, using lolFootwork will reduce the damage you do anyways. You'd take longer to kill it than if you just punched it. Because it'd take longer, you'd take more damage, use up more WHM MP (lol), and you'd get less done in any given timeframe. So no, using Footwork is not the "smarter" way to fight it. It's just bad. If you're getting owned because you're stunned, get a bloody PDT set and swap it in while stunned. If you're actually taking damage from nukes, get a bloody MDT set and swap it in when it starts casting high tier spells.

I can't think of a single NM in the game at this moment where you would actually benefit from using Footwork.
