and proper TP management? you realize nin is a class where their dots have the best TP per potency values right? lol. feel free to give ideas out for proper TP management. their main chain (se gs ae) has 3.94 potency per tp, their slash debuff chain (sg gs de) has 3.81 potency per TP, while mutilate has 4.5 potency per TP, and the shadow fang combo has 4.92 potency per TP. tell me your idea of "proper TP management" from these numbers; there's the given of the perfect invigorate and using invigorate on CD afterwards, but i'm sure that was a given. if you have any other ideas, you should enlighten everyone~
My case is doing just fine. Thank you though. Paeon for two melee isn't always better because in this case one of them is NIN so the MNK isn't starved if Goad is used properly.

What is there to enlighten you about? You can talk down to me all you'd like, sure. It's not as though I've never mained a melee job. I've been a DRG, SMN, and BRD main for coil. TP management involves modifying your rotation whenever necessary to conserve TP. It does mean you lose a little DPS, but the idea is that the DPS you lose is less than the DPS lost by losing Foe's uptime as well as the 20% damage reduction to your BRD. You don't just run yourself to zero and stare at the screen completely baffled. You plan out ahead of time when you do in the case you are at 300 or less TP with Invigorate not coming for a while.

Do you feel as though SMN should ALWAYS use fester too and never conserve their MP? And beg the BRD for Ballad at all times even when the healers don't need it? Resource management is a great thing to learn.
