Footwork

[Greatguardian]

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 ;

Admittedly, seeing as kicks give TP to the mob equal to the TP you'd feed them with a punch, yet give you significantly more TP per kick, you could argue that you WS more often with respect to TP fed to the monster. However, because of how significant the gap is between Victory Smite and Tornado Kick, I'm not sure you'd have a case for dealing more *damage* per TP fed.

I'm not really sure what requires the extreme reduction in TP feed anyways? MNK can easily cap Subtle Blow, and they have Penance up 60% of the time (100% if a second Mnk is around). Trying to reduce TP feed that low just seems superfluous.
