You do that.

And when you die or cause your group to wipe for being an idiot, get back to us.

When I play mage I spam spells till I'm out of mp and let it regen, it's just like the tp bar. Also, if you're not out of mp as a black mage, you are doing it wrong.

Except properly geared melee classes can out-damage BLM. You're using a poor example, as a PLD tank can hold enmity off of BLM's spike damage.

I have harder time holding hate against Monks than I do Black Mages, and that's where the problem with your theory comes in.

If a well geared MNK or well played DRG decides to spam skills like you said, not only are they throwing some efficiency out the window by not combo'ing, they are also likely to pull too much hate and end everyone's fun.

Don't get me wrong, I respect the power of the BLM. But I also respect the potential of MNK and DRG, which you seem not to.

Rates are changed with use of throwing weapons, TP abilities and missing. The new system just evens out everyone's TP generation rate and no longer penalizes you for missing.

This may be out of topic but its not really what I've seen from the footages. TPs are being generated over time, not by your actions anymore. Perhaps it'll be a combination of both but it seems to be more like the energy system in wow or lol now. That said, its pretty much the same as stamina.

not really there since if you're engaged in battle you won't regen. They explained it's like MP if you're locked in battle it won't come back so you can use it all up in a matter of seconds if you don't use it wisely. Just the same with mp if you have your weapon out.

Except in videos we've seen, you DO regen TP mid-battle. It's based on time now, not actions.

ah I see then. From what i gathered from their explaination it would be like mp it only regens when you're out of ready. Thanks ^_^

This might change in V2.0 too. Now, don't quote me on that, but I think I have read or heard in a video that casters will now use spells only in active mode. Because of that, it may be possible that your MP regen while in active mode too.

I can already see if they do that that it may become annoying to play as whm especally when having to cast buffs the weapon for a whm and blm is really just for show but *shrug* if they do that we'll have to adapt
