3. your argument about auto attack hitting is moot because feint has nothing to do with it, it misses you gain no TP and then you spend 500 to use feint.
4. your argument about inhibiting is moot since feint does nothing of the kind in fact using feint will decrease your inhibiting frequency.
5. there just isn't enough slot points to justify feint over something more reliable and useful.
6. with using pierce, full thrust, heavy thrust, invig II, CiAII, speed/life surge, twisting vice, heavy trammel, leg sweep, attack buffs, regiment buffs, healing, and enmity decreasing buffs on a regular basis finding time fro feint is not a priority, especially when you need that TP for better skills.

thats at least 6 reasons, I'm sure I could come up with more, I'm not saying no one should use Feint, just saying I will not be.

PS: your lancer is 26 at that rank I would use feint at 50 I would rather use other skills.
Totally agree. It's not that Feint is completely useless, it's just that it's got low priority and during NM fights I'm way too busy doing more important things, so putting it in the action bar and paying atention to the misses in order to use it (spending 500TP) sounds like a waste of time to me.

Obviousely if you're doing grind or anything else it's a good skill.


Also...

lancers play a role in a group just as archers do. This for the group mindset seems a little out of place. The truth is a lancers moves inhibit, so even if they are trying to go for DPS they still aid the group. Everyones moves support a group.
Absolutely false. Take a look at lancer's skills and compare them to the ones of the other DDs, you just can't say we've got the same role of an archer. Also, not every Lancer skill inhibit, you have to chose well how to spend your TP, depending on your playstyle, wich can be pure dps or dps/support (wich I prefer)

There is no point in arguing this with the flat statement of your not sapose to miss. Earlier there was a post about not caring about misisng an auto attack. How concieted can someone be to not realize that the entire reason they can use there TP skills is because that auto attack hit.
You've got 3 different buffs for accuracy, you just can't miss a WS. If you miss an auto attack then you're not getting TP and it's stupid to use an ability that uses TP IMHO (always during NM fights)

The personal damage versus group damage is amusing.
People that support ''group damage'' always seem to forget that personal damage is a part of that same group damage. xd
You really want to compare the amount of DPS the whole party will bring after CiA to Feint dmg? the TP cost is the same...
Also, keeping CiA and Moonrise II always up, spamming Twisting Vice II and joining BRs with Doomspike II I find it hard to belive you have the time to do anything else.
