I love how just the other day people were all calling Footwork a waste, and then all of a sudden Tornado Kick is BEST WS with Footwork onry.
To be fair, OAThrice weapons, the new WS, and those Footwork latent Haste +5% shoes (which are apparently D:35 o_O) did all drop in the same update. Hell of a turnaround.

Points acknowledged! It's still funny as hell.

Wrong

Care to back this one up?
Well, for one, under footwork, tornado kick weapon DMG is

38 (from hand to hand) + 18 (footwork) + 35 (poise shoes) = 91 base DMG we're working with. The ws itself is badass under footwork and since aside from relic, footwork is our current best weapon w/ the occ attack 2-3 times h2h.

Tornado kick is counted from feet, pummel would be counted from hands, so 38 base dmg since the h2h themselves have +0 dmg on them

Well, footwork tornado kick would still be better than hand to hand stringing pummel.

Also, did you happen to see what I was replying to?

Just because someone may not have the occ attack 3 times claws yet doesn't make pummel better, it just means they don't have a good footwork build.

I wouldn't be surprised if this was the case before long.

You can create a 6-hit build (5 if /SAM) if you rely on the first two hits of your WS landing and OAThrice under Footwork with the new Footwork boots gives you 91 damage 480 delay and ~70% DA (Footwork seems to force max of two kicks per round but it's still higher rate than you'd have with OATwice). Talk about WS spam, and if you've seen a good Tornado Kick build at work it's a fairly potent WS too.

At this point tbh only reasons I can see not to be using h2h are


A) Spharai
B) Footwork has been dispelled/waiting on recast

Yes, which is why I mentioned it.
Well I don't see how you don't get my answer then. He said if mnk had pummel, we wouldn't be using tornado, which is wrong, lol. We'd use tornado under the conditions I gave, as it's our current best non spharai damage.

Sure, in my first post, but I went on to explain it after that and you were still not following me.

For example, after I explained the footwork tornado kick

And your post about you not getting it was AFTER you asked and AFTER I gave you a response. See my point? After I backed it up is when you came in w/ the "all you did was say wrong" bs lol

Is it even worth getting? I haven't seen any damage testing/screens myself and I don't play anymore, just curious lol.

Just laid out today a 5 hit footwork build without SAM sub

5hit w/o /sam? Doesn't compute >.> if you're counting 5 kicks between ws, that's a 6hit. When you say x-hit, the WS is included.


So let's say we have 100 tp.

WS kick kick kick kick WS kick kick kick kick WS would be a 5-hit

5 hit including WS, only 3 hits after WS since tp return from tornado kick is kick+kick+1 at 20tp/kick you will have 41 tp return from your WS then 3 kicks then WS again. You need a total of +39 store tp easily attainable with samurai roll with a sam, but you need some of the new gear and some old to reach it without sam sub or sam roll.

I was playing around when I made the 5 hit build, it is possible but you wouldnt be able to use the 2-3 hit H2H with it, so a 6 hit with the TotM H2H would be much more viable.

Oh, sam roll. I thought you meant in gear alone w/o sam sub, which is why I was confused

It can be done now with gear alone, but it's like looking for a 5hit build on sam, you have to give some stuff up. It appears I had left sam sub on the ffxicalculator when I was working on 5 hit for RNG, my bad lol.
