The Return of Miss Abilities

[Silvano]

It's because CT is a five-fold attack, so unless all 5 shots miss Feint won't work. I use Feint off of Vorpal(or Impulse? whichever is right before CT) all the time

I can guarantee every one of you with no doubt that you can in fact use Feint for a missed Chaos Thrust hit. I've done it multiple times, maybe you're hitting it late? I'm usually spamming the Feint button right after pressing CT just in case I miss one. Can post SS as proof if necessary, just give me the chance to catch it during a fight.

In order for you to meet the requirements for feint, the last hit from your chaos thrust (out of those 5) must be the one missing.

Nope.



It's about speed, if you're fast you'll hit Feint before the timer for it runs out, if not then ;/

Also, again on the ACC topic:

It seems like a good all-around amount for ACC is 400 total; I'm sitting at 456 (soon to switch my Mogfork to Ifrit's Harpoon, and buy a Flame Sergeant's Sash, so it should dip to 436 but I'd have the increased dmg. from the Harpoon), and my hit % rarely falls below 98% at a parse, and I usually get 100%. Below is a list of ACC-heavy gear that you can mix/match with other ATK/etc pieces to get the number you're happy with.

Weapon: Melancholy Mogfork
Body: Darklight Corselet
Hands: Felt Bracers (HQ or NQ is fine) melded with ACC materia or Darklight Bracers
Waist: Field Veteran's Belt or Flame Sergeant's Sash (if you have Ul'dah set as your Grand Company)
Feet: Darklight Caligae
Neck: Explorer's Choker
Rings: Electrum Rings (should have these HQ'd, it's easy to do)

Own'd!!! I never thought to spam them after thrust ^^

The only issue I see is, since there is no real GCD on abilities, you just have to wait until the cast or attack animation is completed before you can use Feint. Some animations are longer than others which can make you miss your window on using Feint.

Like other MMOs, Feint should interrupt your current action. Of course if Feint + Disembowl isn't as good a DPS increase as a full CT, then that wouldn't be a good move.

Yeah, for almost every ability I can hit Feint in time without the need to spam it; but for Chaos Thrust I just start spamming it right after hitting the CT button just to make sure I get it if I need to. If I wait till I see the gray text on my screen it's usually too late.

Feint + Disembowel does almost as much dmg. as an unbuffed Doomspike, so it isn't terrible for the tp spent ;/ Full Thrust, from what I've gathered, is a flat 1k tp increase (though, don't take my word on it till I can confirm it ;D), so that's pretty decent if you have another combo off of cooldown and need the tp to use it.
