Questioning the design of TP

[pandabearcat]

Yea I found esp summoner and bard have huge resource issues.

On add swap fights where you can't bane, summoner mana tanks ridiculously fast (it already takes almost 25% of your mana to setup all dots).

Bard is hilarious in that if you get more SS procs, you actually drain your TP faster. If you need to Rain of Death, you have to either do nothing aside from dots + bloodletter, or have another bard paeon for you. Even then, you can't do much aside from keep up Rain and DoTs.

Compared to that BLM is like easymode. It is really hard unless you are actively trying to screw up your rotation. You only spam fire 1 in astral...that is your only mana consuming ability. Everything else is instant and off a proc.

EDIT: also I dunno about the other DoW classes, but dragoon and monk already have more efficient skills than bard (hardly anything is 80, and they have lots of 60 or below skills), and dragoon gets 100 more TP from its invig. Furthermore all DoW get invig.
