Footwork

From FFXIclopedia, the free Final Fantasy XI encyclopedia

Job Ability

  • Makes kicks your primary mode of attack.
  • Obtained: Monk Level 65
  • Recast Time: 5:00
  • Duration: 5:00

Notes/Description

In exchange for a penalty to attack delay, the monk receives an increase to damage and attack power, as well as a bonus to the amount of TP gained per kick. The monk must have a hand-to-hand weapon equipped to receive these bonuses.

When Footwork is active:

  • You get an extra +18DMG to your base damage on your kicks.
  • An attack bonus of 100/1024 (slightly under 10%) is granted
  • Delay when using Footwork is 480 (8 seconds).
  • Delay is modified by Haste spells and Haste equipment, but Weapon delay has no impact on base delay.
  • Base TP gained while Footwork is active is 13.0 TP per kick.
  • Base TP return for weaponskills is 13.0 for the first two hits, and 1 for each additional hit.
  • Dragon Kick will be using +DMG from feet instead from a weapon.
  • If footwork is active while using Jump or High Jump (via Dragoon subjob) TP is calculated as 2 hits at 13.0 for a total of 26% each jump; with Store TP gear and fast macroing it is possible to perform a self skillchain.
  • Treats your base TP return as 9.3% for the purposes of enemy TP return (At the 20% Subtle Blow Monk has from 60-75, mobs only earn 7.5% TP.)
  • You can still counter; the usual Counter animation still applies.
  • Counters do damage based on your in-hand weapon, not the Footwork/kick damage.
  • You can Guard still; however, you do not Guard with feet.
  • Hundred Fists can still be used. During this time, you will use your fists.
  • As per regular fist attacks, when Kick Attacks activate, you will do your kick from Footwork, and then another kick from the Kick Attacks, resulting in two kicks.
  • Zoning and KO causes Footwork to be lost.
  • If you are moving and you are within attack range, you will throw one punch equal to the damage and TP as a normal footwork kick.
  • Drain Samba does not currently give correct HP amounts with Footwork, this has been reported to SE.
