I agree with most the of the stuff you're saying, but I don't get people saying "lol use Taunt". You're going to be in one of three situations with a Pugilist, and in two of them Taunt is typically a bad idea:

A: You're soloing. There's no point to using Taunt because the enemy is already attacking you. Just use Featherfoot by itself.

B: You're in a group, and you use Taunt and pull aggro from the tank, potentially making things more difficult on your group and at worst case scenario screwing everything up just so you can get your 100-200 MP back off a Featherfoot.

C: You ARE the tank, which is not very likely anymore as Pugilist is a DD class now and is not often used as a tank for things, even though it still can to a degree. In this event, Taunting is fine I guess even though the enemy is already attacking you because it generates enmity.

Taunt is pretty damn useless for forcing Featherfoots IMO, it should only be used for what it was made for: pulling enemy aggro off the tank if he's hurt or someone getting jumped because the tank couldn't hold aggro in an emergency.
