Footwork

[Mojo]

Like I said you are out of the loop. Claiming that TP spam is the same due to the fact that you feed more tp but do more damage is proof enough. You are comparing tp given over time (more precilely : tp given per round) to tp/damage ratio which are completely different things.

In order to compare the TP spam from 2 weapons you are going to keep the same haste gear in both case so I don't see how your haste remark is anywhere close to being relevant. Also high haste or low haste doesn't matter for TP spam. Until the point where regain is decisive enough (=never with footwork), what matters is after how many of your rounds the mob is going to get his TPs so if it's getting tp after say 10 of your rounds, wether you have 60% haste or 25% will not change anything ;

Are you actually trying to argue that intentionally reducing your attack speed for no benefit other than the mob getting hit less is somehow a good idea, ever? That's all you're accomplishing by using any hand-to-hand weapon other than Ursine Claws +2 while under the effect of Footwork. If you don't see how this would be nearly exactly like removing Haste gear (or simply disengaging) then I suppose I can spell it out for you...
