Really cuz i never run out of tp you don't need to spam Roh and with high SkP.your clipping Goring blade by Alot. If your mting you should be doing two Roh then never touch Roh keep goring blade up and use Ra only use Roh if you need aggro

Also in a three min fight if you just spam Roh you wasting alot of tp without use goring blad. Don't spam Roh Ra is still better unless you need aggro goring blade is wonderful

I'm against the OP's idea for 1 reason I have saved the day a few times by being the OT backup healer with Clemency & Roit blade... I mean who else is gona heal the MT while both healers are being raised by the SMN? now if Sword oath gave a passive slight boost to TP recovery (like u get 5TP more every tick while its up) then that sounds okay but I've only had a few times were I bottem out in TP for anything I do normally (which ant Savage or EX stuff, just reg dungeons & Alex/24-man raid)

At any rate they plan to re-vamp the cross-class system & skill tress of all classes with 4.0 so we'll probably get something then... & maybe they will finally make all this parry we get more usefull.

One small thing. PLD's should spend the majority of their time in Sword Oath.
Good idea, but the tuning would probably have to be lower than you are thinking.

Having TP issues? get a NIN, BRD or MCH in party, you got none? Don't tank.

That might be the case for statics, what about partyfinder/raidfinder parties which are random most of the time?

Good, I'd love to see Mage's Ballad and Army's Paeon go useless (and their MCH counterparts) they're cop out "Support" abilities anyway, I want each class to be able to manage it's own resources, if played skillfully enough.

Give BRD/MCH some ACTUAL support abilities instead of making them glorified walking batteries with a few actual support things tacked on
