    War TP issues?

    I'm just curious about War TP issues at/close to, 50. My Warrior is only 31 right now, but I did a boss FATE the other day with just me, and two DPS. (One was an ACN so a DPS/healer person) and using just my three move combo, minus the initial Tomahawk pull, I ran out of TP a little over halfway through the fight, and was left having to wait for 60/70 TP to regen to use a move. And unfortunately as a War my DRG's Invigorate is no longer a cross class skill, so I don't have that "Oh crap no TP!" button.

    I looked through my War moves and didn't see anything that returns TP, so is this something that could be an issue at later levels? I could see running out of TP being a very bad thing with dungeon bosses and in raid situations...

    Once you get to higher levels it become less of an issue. It was a common problem I had while leveling. FATES are always a bad measure of character abilities. Your better off doing dungeons to level. Shame of you for even mentioning the word FATE. FATES are evil evil things that should be abolished asap!

    But...But...This is Final FATEtesy 14! We need FATES, so we can do FATES, while FATEING until the end of....Well, FATE!

    On another note, thank you everyone for the replies, at least now I know what to expect at end game, and that I should keep an eye on my TP bar (Not that I wasn't already) because it doesn't get much better. xD

    Boss FATE = standing there swinging as fast as you can for a long time. Nothing else. Also, note that you did it with 3 people -- FATEs at times have commonly included 20+ people. So it is taking longer than designed.

    End game, or any encounter with interesting mechanics = you spend a % of time doing something OTHER THAN attacking. So your TP naturally regens during that time and it's hard to run out.

    The only end game fight I've ever had TP issues in is Turn 4. Get a little too Overpower crazy.

    Even if you did nothing except use your full bb combo it'd take ages to run out of tp. Maybe with really high skill speed?

    This is probably more an issue with the FATEs.. Soloing (or even with a few people) you are going to run out of TP in a few mins. This is somewhat do to the repetition of high-TP cost skills and the fact there aren't any breaks, you're just standing there whacking away endlessly.. At end game I run out of TP faster on Paladin than on Warrior.

    I cross class Flash so that I can cast it every now and then to spend my MP and rebuild TP

    I crossed flash so I can use it to hold hate when tp starts getting low

    Most endgame fights have little breaks that help you gain tp back I.e jumps or teleports or tank swaps whereas in a fate it's a constant button mash

    At endgame you'll also be more likely using Steel Cyclone and Inner Beast, which are 2 moves that do not consume TP, but are part of the GCD, and there's Flash.
