Balence Issue: Sprint should not take TP

[Zumi]

Currently in FFXIV, sprint has a 30 second cooldown, that gives you 20 seconds of sprint, but uses all TP.

Discipline of War classes are at a distinct disadvantage when it comes to using sprint. DoW need TP to use their damage dealing abilities.

Now then Discipline of magic do not use TP for anything since their main resource is MP for all their spells. They are freely able to use sprint without any negative side effects.

I would suggest eliminate the TP cost of sprint to even the playing field between DoW and DoM classes. Having every job to 50, I can tell you its very useful on several boss fights to be able to sprint out of stuff, which I can't do on a melee class because then I lose all my TP and will do bad damage, or not be able to use ws for quite some time.

Either make it take MP or not be usable at all in battle.

*BALANCE.

Sorry, that was bugging the crap out of me.

Edit: Yay, OP fixed it.

+1 op...i agree with u

It's a little flavor-weird that the mages are speedsters and the melee DPS are pokey.

[Constance]

I have to agree with this.

I fail to see why sprint couldn't have it's own internal cooldown without consuming tp.

The classes that benefits mostly from sprint are disciples of magic and those classes are ALREADY RANGED. They have less area to cover in cases where sprint is of use.

My idea of balancing....

Do you take into account that casters in this game does not cast on the move like those retard casters in WoW? Discplines of War on other hand can still output damamge while moving. Sprint cost TP is fine. It is a trade off.

Heh. DoMs are limited by the fact they can't do a damned thing while sprinting. At least by the time my sprint finishes on DRG I have enough TP restored to begin fighting. What the TP cost does is keep BRDs from using Sprint as another off GCD cooldown and sprinting around arenas while firing.

You really wouldn't be using sprint while dealing damage its to get out of stuff quickly. Like Ifrit charges for example, or plumes on the ground. Also there are many instant cast ailibites such as Ruin 2, bio, aero, Scathe, to name a few so you can cast and do damage.
