1). I realize that. That's why I said "somewhat useful", not "great DPS". I'm well aware that as BO/HU my DPS contribution comes from my PA's, but if I have to cast an offensive tech to attune my boots anyway, it might as well hit as hard as it can. If nothing else, Safoie Type-0 makes a nice combo-starter when I need to shift my boots to Fire.
2). I affixed the weapon with the intent of using it for BO/FI also.
3). What else was I going to put on there? Ability IV was going on it anyway as it's the SAF, Omega Reverie was going on there anyway for the S-ATK and HP; the only things that changed were using Ares the Soul instead of Act the Soul, and Technique IV instead of... Stamina IV, maybe? I mean, if I could afford the likes of Elegant Power or Elegant Stamina than I'd say I'd given something up for that, but I can't. This was the affix I could do with the resources I had on hand.

I guess I did get a little defensive there, huh? Sorry about that.
Essentially what I was trying to say originally is, "Even as BO/HU, I do enough damage with my techs that I get some use out of them, so I don't feel it's a waste to affix T-ATK alongside the S-ATK, and clearly I'll get more mileage out of that as BO/FI." The fact that the boots came with Omega Reverie already on them and had Ability IV as a SAF probably influenced my thinking, too.

Is this the JB where it does element burst every time you do a PA?
If so, switch to BoFi.
The boots synergize with BoFi so much better than anything else.
I recommend having two builds for this.
One that focuses on chase (for quests that include mobbing) and one without chase that focuses on other things (due to chase not working on bosses)
This weapon will be more relevant in mobbing content for obvious reasons.
Yep, that's the one. The burst actually occurs on the PA-following shift action, rather than on the PA itself, so if for example, I do Strike Gust, the burst happens when I do the drop attack afterward; if I don't do the shift action, I don't get the burst. However, it doesn't reset the element the way a neutral shift action elemental burst does, which is quite nice.
Even as BO/HU, it's pretty effective, though I'm sure it's much better as BO/FI. I think I need to get better at boots before I go to BO/FI, though - don't want to give up that extra toughness from the HU sub until I'm confident I know what I'm doing in any given scenario. Going to BO/FI is my eventual goal, though.

You should train using Weapon action for dodging telegraphed Attacks. JB have crazy invincibility frames if used correctly.
