One extra skill.  Plus all those intangibles.  11 deftness is the holy
grail in terms of skills but getting the jump is pretty damn important too.
Tough call.  Of course, all of Crip's very best lungers have 9 deftness
so that in itself might be the clue.  If the strikers you are facing will
have less than 6 or so fights then you should try and jump them.  They
will be going 10-10 D so if you do manage to jump them your lack of those
7 skills shouldn't hurt too much.  I mean it is not that hard to hit an
init striker going 10-10 if you get the jump.

By the way, I have no idea what intangibles you might get other than I
can't say that the only diff between your 16 speed and 18 speed is
the 1 decise skil.

Oh, and I would choose will over wit every time for a dixie, especially
a LU.

That is a decent point although 11 wit isn't too profitable.  I would train
only once though so maybe you are right.
