Haha Woah there! A little bit more hostility I was expecting from an honest question. I will respond to your heated arguments now.


1. If I no longer had invigorate as a dragoon? Then I'd run out of TP after being dead or after AOE spam. Otherwise I never use it. The stages where melee needs to stop dps to run from bosses gives me plenty of time to TP regen.
2. I posited that doing 80% of your DPS with TP regen song up is better than doing 20% of your dps through autoattacks waiting for TP regen. Though if bards ever needed to stop shooting to dodge a mechanic, like dragoons you probably wouldnt need TP regen.
3. I never suggested that "bards don't know when to use their songs". I merely noted that the other songs seem to get a lot more usage than TP regen specially when nearly every class has invigorate available to them.
4. Bards are (by numbers) the lowest "single target dps" because of their movement dps, being less physically squishy than mages yet with comparable AOE damage, offering silence, and songs. People take bards to coil because of silence, songs, and Aoe; it's when they stop taking monks and dragoons to coil for single target damage that things really get out of hand.
