    Oh and please don't give me the "Mages aren't Meant to WS" reply either. Mages that have a WS like omniscience do make a noticible difference and at end game have every right to toss in such a WS that can help everyone especially when there are more than enough gears to survive as well as plenty of right moments to make it happen.

    Why even have WS for mages to begin with? Especially ones like Mythic.

    Simply put, there is no need for this besides for a few select jobs, most of which are mages, and do not really need the TP anyways. If you take a SCH to a party and they run up to WS rather than continue stunning, something is wrong, if its a situation where a SCH, WHM, or other job of the sort is meleeing rather than doing the primary thing they are brought for, there is a good chance that it is an easy enough event that you do not actually need a specific mainhand weapon in the first place. Even WSs like MBoon or the Emp Staff WS, you should not be getting TP, SCH is the only job which can reasonably excuse it besides BLM, which is taken to nothing. This kind of change would be easily abused by melees though, using a high multi-hit weapon for TP then changing to your strongest weapon to WS, repeat, it would be like gear swaps, but in my opinion it would be worse, and opening just another thing we will be expected to carry in parties.

    All in all, unless some careful restrictions were made for certain jobs and certain pieces of gear or classes of weapons, I would be against this change.

    What if TP was only halved upon switching weapons?

    If events at Endgame are going to continue to be easy but longer to play, then I don't see why it's such a big deal asking to be able to do more things than be limited.

    Unless you want to mash heal and haste macro and push 1 macro for WS 10 hours straight.

    And my point is Mythic weapons, Relic, Emp are for level 99 jobs yet Mage class with level 99 WS such as mythic that is one of the most time consuming most ridiculous item to earn but can't be used at end game events since we lose TP from gear swaps. This is not our fault because how the DEVS designed the battle system.

    It's 2013. I'd like to do more at 99 with ilvl gear that still be strict as front line or back line job.

    Just because not all DD are meant to be a healer doesn't mean they can't be flexible and do hybrid things. Why else give dragoon the ability? Rune and Paladin?

    Do I expect them to be a main healer or even a back up healer? No but at least everyone with hybrid abilities could help each other as a whole which would make it better to do events.

    And Mythic WS for mages is powerful enough not to be made useless.

    Unless you've never used WS like Omniscience before but are making comments on the topic you have no idea why it was brought up to begin with?
