    I agree with this in theory, but if that is what they are going for then I'd say they failed. At least with tanks, a bit with melee too.

    For tanks, we have no way to restore TP besides simply not attacking. That's not real resource management, and it's not like there is some other super low TP combo we can use while it regens.

    For dps, simply hitting Invig is not exactly what I'd call strat. Casters have MP regen choices built into their mechanics, and there is much more management involved. It feels like TP was tacked on in comparison.

    I can only speak as a tank. But whenever I run out of TP on my PLD. I blame it on myself. Because I'm simply not alternating enough between my weaponskills and magic abilities(flash/stoneskin). I admit that I sometimes feel obligated to deal as much damage on my tank. But then I remind myself that my primary role is to hold hate and prevent damage from going to other members.

    I can't speak for the dps though. But I still like the idea of timing invigorate well to prevent running out of TP. Same goes with the bard TP song.
