SKill speed needs to change.

[Edellis]

it increases your initial dps, but it is TP reliant. Making skill-speed utterly useless once your part-way through a drawn out fight, and your starved for tp and invigorate is on cd. ask a bard for TP song? nope, healers need it to keep the tank alive. tp pots? nope, those are pvp only. has happened to me more than once, even with effective tp management. it doesn't affect your auto-attack, and the cooldowns of your skills and buffs either, whereas crit rate and determination do. in addition, skill speed scales worse than crit and determination.

It doesn't increase your DAMAGE at all, it just ALLOWS you to decrease the time at which you deliver it. Your DPS is only increased if you use your skills as fast as you can. But if you run out of TP and get screwed during long battles its still your fault.

All of those problems can be managed by simply not spamming your skills so fast. I think there should probably be a visual effect on your icons that not only tell you when your ability is avaliable, but also the original 2.5 GCD cooldown timer so you wont burn through all your TP.

But your skills aren't using more TP, you're just using them faster. That problem you stated above is still 100% avoidable.



I play Bard, and I myself noticed the detrimental effects of not noticing that you are using skill faster than your TP is regenerating...it's just a simple fix of being self-aware of your abilities. It is not a crippling stat, it's an enabling stat.
