Question from a NIN to our FCOB tanks

You just said you use stoneskin because healers derp.... I didn't put any words into your mouth.

Trust =/= never derps ever.

I am constantly TP starved in T10. T11 is slightly better since there's a little break on adds/stun but I still get close sometimes, same with T12, but I still run out of TP before Bennu phase. T13 I'm close to running out of TP before P2 push, but as we got faster at it, I no longer have TP problems in T13.

If you Goad PLD @1min mark in the fight, that is sufficient so that they are able to sustain until BRD does Paeon for the group, and Goad should be back up in time for next use on the other melee.

I'm going to really have to pay attention to when our bard does peon because I never run out of TP in FCoB and that is with using Fracture through the whole fight. We run without a Ninja and I can't see how Goad would help us in anyway.

Our bard only does auto attacks when he has the bluefire debuff (assuming you're doing fires) since he does near 0 damage while that debuff is up he says. He claims it allows him to have more tp for the remainder of the fight and have overall higher dps without asking for goad or paeon.

I'm not a bard so I have no idea if that's true, just thought I'd throw that out there.

Yeah it seems like some people have BRDs that play peons a lot and some don't. What happens in YOUR static may be drastically different from what happens in OTHER statics.

My BRD doesn't use it unless he's asked for it, so I will run out of TP and have to ask for it at certain points.

I never stop attacking unless there are no targets to attack. It honestly sounds to me like you refuse to Shield Swipe.... Why does noone here understand this ability's viability?
I know your part of our server's better raid groups, Bokchoy is a friend and all, but even Legacy has tanks who don't use this ability too.. =/

Your PLD must be stacking skill speed, he shouldn't have a problem with tp. Make him get rid of that skill speed.

Our BRD uses Paeon for himself before anyone else ever asks for it. It was my understanding that BRD consumes TP fastest aside from a MNK using Fracture (which is why we Goad him). Particularly when they can multidot multiple enemies. BRD BRD MNK NIN.

Depends on the BRD's Skill speed vs. everyone elses Skill speed. My BRD burns through tp really quick, but its an alt job composed of mostly soldiery gear, so I have a ton of SKS. A more optimal BRD will be able to last much longer because they will have less skill speed.

I do use shield swipe. I also do 370+ dps in T10 and the run is over in under 7min, and I'm still TP starved.
