I stopped even trying to time it and just see it as an offGCD DPS move.

Featherfoot really sucks in the new coil.

Maybe we can find some new data on this, but I've recorded maybe 3-4 dodges in hours of Turn 9 attempts over the past two weeks. The 15% Dodge chance on Featherfoot either does not work as advertised or bosses have above 100% hit rate and pushes most of the dodge off of the table.

In any case, I've since dropped Featherfoot in T9. I use Provoke, Convalescence, Mantra, Second Wind, Internal Release. I will pay closer attention to Featherfoot results tonight in Turns 6 and 7. (I don't tank Turn 8).

I've been dodging plenty in t6 and t7 with Featherfoot even without anyone Blinding.

Today: 31 Auto Attacks from Rafflesia. 25 Auto Attacks from Lamia Deathdancers. Parsed 0 Dodges. Extremely small sample size (I prob had FF up for about 15 AA's total) but still... 4 dodges on many, many T9 attempts (all on Golems and Dragons who can be afflicted by Ruin II).

Needs more testing but I'm probably gonna drop FF for T9 anyway. Both Mantra, SW, and IR all seem more appropriate.

I wouldn't be surprised if the 2.2 bosses basically have a 100% hit chance so that the only time you can dodge is while they're blinded or you have Featherfoot up. It would grok with observations thus far about the rarity of dodges since you would basically only have a 15% chance to see them 16.67% of the time.

That's what I thought it was initially, but mathematically you should dodge close to 1 attack per Featherfoot usage. Not 3 Dodges in 50+ T9 Attempts.

It almost seems like I need Featherfoot + Ruin II in order to dodge something.

Haven't done t9 yet, but most of the stuff I've seen in SCoB has a really slow attack rate. We generally assume one AA every 3 seconds or so; for Featherfoot, that's 5 attacks, which is a 56% chance that you'll see a dodge. If you go slower, like 5-6 seconds (which is what I get the feeling for on Rafflesia during those parts of the fight that she's actually auto-attacking and no occupied with one of her numerous special attacks), you're only getting 2-3 attacks per Featherfoot, which means that you've got a ~30-40% chance of seeing a dodge each use.

[bokchoykn]

Yeah, that's true. Plus Rafflesia casts a lot of spells and doesn't do a ton of damage to tanks in general.

In any case, this just reinstates how questionable Featherfoot is in Second Coil. The low frequency of dodgable attacks plus the fact that Warrior has more of a true Off-Tanking role and takes fewer attacks in general.

It's definitely no longer the "must-have" cross class that it was in 2.0-2.1 content.

I wish I could test this more, but we clear T6-8 so reliably now and I don't even tank T8. I know for certain that Featherfoot sucks in T9. I really like Mantra and Second Wind.
