Yoshi P talks about Warriors- from Producer Letter Live @ TGS

I had edited my post quite a bit, my point was just to convey TP constraints hurt Warriors far more than Paladins due to part of the Warrior mitigation coming from "offense" and constant use of TP to build Wrath for things like Inner Beast. I haven't been to Coil, so I don't know general timers on the fights, but I've reached low TP in fights outside Coil (and without using Overpower).

Having a Bard use the TP song seems like a waste when both melee DPS and bard have access to the Dragoon's Invogorate (which seems to be fine for sustaining constant TP use on my bard).


Was just bringing up another point (more minor given it is situation dependent on long fights) to add to the Warrior inferiority vs. Paladin list in hopes the devs planning changes in the future.

Also, I'd include WAR's stun for completeness' sake in this equation. It'll give you 50/(30/2.5) = 4.17 extra dps per gcd and it's off the gcd, just as silence and spirit are.

You never use the Stun unless it is your turn to interrupt something (due to Stun DR build up). Using this ability outside of set perimeters on most bosses will essentially wipe the raid or at the very minumum cause far more trouble than 50 potency would ever be worth.

TLDR: It's not a free off GCD 50 potency 30 second CD attack; using it like so would get you kicked from any raid group.
