Balence Issue: Sprint should not take TP

These are low damage/healing spells. And who spams dots? My monk friend does a lot more damage on the move than aero spam, and can jump to the boss... dragoon I don't know much about. Tanks can still block, no? TP regens so fast so how is it really an issue?

I don't use sprint much in combat personally but I don't support a nerf to it just for casters. They're already rooted for anything worth casting, unlike melee/bards.

Surely there's a better argument you guys can use to get it nerfed. The fact that I can cast aero on the move isn't really a good one...

It's not a nerf, as its not a requirement in battle at all. It's not needed at all. Therefore it is not a nerf to casters at all. If a caster relies on sprint, they need to rethink their strats.

Sprint is there for convenience more than anything. Not a regular off GCD skill for Mages.

I disagree, I like it the way it is now.

I hope that when Thf rolls around we get a flee that does the same thing as sprint, but with no TP drain. If everyone can sprint carelessly, flee will be pointless.

So by your reasoning Mages can sprint carelessly as TP is useless to them as it stands now and flee would be useless.

Except that if a THF has Flee that doesn't drain TP then they could potentially have access to any high damage ability and with the enhanced speed they would have a much easier time getting into position for that ability assuming there is a positional requirement.

Casters can use sprint and move, but unless you are talking about a BLM with a firestarter/thundercloud proc saved then none of them have access to a high damage ability on the move. Bio 2 and Scathe aren't big damage. The only other abilities are DoTs which are not high damage since they have damage over time.

So if Flee didn't use TP it would be amazing for THF and make it stand out since any other classes.. especially a melee one.. may not have enough TP to do any attacks for a few seconds right after using sprint.
