The only time I was ever able to use responsiveness to any effect was
with my strikers and pikers.  I found that 4-8-4-Responsiveness was an
excellent desperation strategy.  However, using it at any other time
seemed not to work so well.  While it worked okay against decisive
warriors (like strikers and bashers) it didn't work well enough to keep
from getting hit, and since responsiveness killed my riposte it pretty
much equaled a loss every time.  An impressive loss, but a loss none-
theless.  Against non-decisive warriors, things got even worse.  My
character seemed frozen in place, a veritable pincushion for any lungerr
or slasher who came my way.

I stopped using responsiveness in non-desperation situations because of
this.  Good luck, though.
