Feint is also really worth it if the opponents defense can somehow be harmful. for instance if he has a weapon that damages your weapon. Or if they rely on using slip to get into CC with you.
Also, it's not a question of Feint or Deceptive attack you use both.
Finally, what really makes Feint useful is the Feint technique.

All of those are interesting points. I feel like I came to that realization of its capability in duels, but didn't actually state it outright, but the thing about defending versus dangerous active defenses is a really good idea. Do you mind if I add those points to the post?
