the spire and the new tp bar

[Alahra]

P.s. could spire (and maybe goad) be the reason they're adding the tp bar in the first place?

There have been requests for a TP bar as far back as 2.0, since Bards have always had Army's Paeon, and we've known for awhile they were working on the UI for it. They probably just saw it as more of a priority since 4 classes can now restore party TP in some fashion or another as opposed to just one or two.
