Even in ez moad AKs (classic pulling) when I chain pull on Warrior I have to stop and wait 15 or so seconds before the boss to have enough tp to last the boss fight (this isn't even with fracture). I play both WAR and PLD and I'd take flash spam all day over Overpower. Sure the damage is nice, but the ability to seamlessly move from AoE > ST without TP worries is a huge benefit.

    This isn't of course even thinking of WP SRs where bottoming out your TP on PLD to pull literally has no detrimental effect, and your resource pools of both are more then manageable. This Enmity modifier really is a nice plus for Warriors that'll help balance out these differences.
    Chain pulling AK or WP, you can manage your TP such that you shouldn't need to wait for more than a couple seconds at most if you mix in flashes and swap to target cycling a little early. It's definitely harder on the WAR. You have to balance your TP vs. threat on each target instead of just mashing the AoE button, but it's doable. Especially if you lead off with some combination of unchained, berserk, inner release and/or vengeance to secure a solid threat lead during the initial attacks and work in a heavy -> maim as fast as possible to boost those overpowers even further.

    TP consumption will also be eased come 2.1 when we can use wrath abilities freely without consequence (no TP for 1 round) and the TP costs for storm's eye/path are reduced.
