Bard - they broke my job

I'd use it when dodgeing those big huge rectangular aoes in A1 as an example if I didn't have a bl proc up. Random movement that will require instant cast interruption and last only 1 second. Like the blms say "always be casting" xD

You have plenty of time to cast and move out of it unless you're in a very specific area of a cast already that wouldn't give you time to move before the cast for completion, I don't think the perfect timing happens often enough to say Feint is an absolute requirement.

...and when u finish the cast and move u can feint?

And waste DPS by using a GCD on a weaker skill for more TP? I'm not saying you can't use it, or it can't be a help if you do get interrupted or are on the move during a cast where otherwise you wouldn't drop out of WM, but to say it's necessary, I don't think so.

TBH Feint is not a waste. Although it won't be used frequently but there will be times you are caught in big circle AoE where the AoE's cast time is not long enough for you to cast-move like how you do on BLM, you will have to use Feint as a filler like how BLM uses Scathe for that matter. If you move out of that AoE without using a GCD move you are losing DPS.

TP isn't an issue due to the benefits of IJ.

Any scenario like that you'd gain far more DPS from dropping out of WM for a second and getting in a gcd w/aa or two than using a single GCD and hoping you can cast again, when you can easily stance right back into WM.

Also if the waste was in reference to my comments I never called it a waste, I said it was a waste to use it and not use HS in the situation he brought up, not the skill itself.

Dropping WM stance is only an option when you have no other oGCD on queue. It is eventually a DPS loss if you have a few buffs/oGCD that has to go, especially BL, because toggling on itself is considered an oGCD move.

There's just alot of prioritization going around.
