Goad

[Kiokin]

The point is, Goad is a skill on your hotbar. It's not up to everyone else to tell you when and how to use it, you need to learn when and how. Paladins and Warriors shouldn't need to be told when to use Provoke, they should just know that "Oh, that stray mob is wailing on our poor healer. Provoke!". Ninjas should just know that "Oh hey this dragoon is spamming doom spike! Goad!"

This comparison isn't good. It's a tank's job to make sure things are attacking them. Provoke is necessary for them to do that. It's not a Ninja's job to restore people's TP, they just happen to have an ability that does that. You'd have an argument if TP was visible, as obviously a good ninja would glance and see someone is low on TP and Goad them, but as it stands now we have more to pay attention to than what skills other people are using in a mosh pit of spell effects. We have no obligation to use it of our own accord, but once it's asked for we do. So until the devs decide to make TP visible, if you want Goad, ask for it.

We'll just agree to disagree then. Like I said, it only takes me half a second to make the connection between "I should AOE in this situation" and "Oh hey everyone else is AOEing too".

If this too massive a hurdle for some people, so be it.

Yeah, we could throw it on people when we start AoEing and risk wasting its benefit if the mobs don't live long enough for it to be necessary. Then you're stuck waiting 3 minutes when the time it could be useful could happen before then. It's really not that hard to just make a macro or type "goad." 6 keystrokes, you can do it.
