Goad

[Snugglebutt]

Use your skills, and use them on your own without having to be asked.

If SE bothered to fix the UI it wouldn't be an issue, it's an amazingly simple thing for them to do and ninja is not the only class that would benefit from a party member TP bars on the UI since other classes like bards also should have it showing.

All this whining about how ninjas aren't keeping track of what skills everyone else is using and counting how much everyone else's uses their skills or researching the other classes skills or knowing how much TP the other players skills use is amusing to me since it's mountains out of molehills just like when people talk about Peons when on my bard.

My main is bard but also monk and ninja alts of which bard also has TP regen skill and I can count on one hand the amount of times I have ever needed to use it in the entire time I have played it. People tend to ask for it because 99% of the time it is never needed so becomes a waste of time and effort for me to track and count the skill usages of every other player in the group all the time while DPSing or doing other songs. The same applies to Goad and people should ask for that too until SE fixes the UI.

Fact is tanks already have a fairly easy job which gets priority healing plus they just keep aggro, position boss/adds and occasionally move out the way of an attack or switch between MT/OT, but it's seems they can't be bothered to take half a second to click a macro to let someone know they need a goad? Sorry but seems they are the lazy ones to me plus same goes for anyone else who can't be bothered to make a one click button macro to ask for something that is rarely ever needed.

Tank: Boo hooo. I am sorry, making a macro, and click it when I need it seems so much of a trouble or too much of a effort. Why don't you just read my thought and give me what I want instead, observe my actions, count my skill, knows about my TP as I am performing. Save me a lot of trouble there !!

This comment is exactly how this whining about ninjas Goad skill is coming across.

My job as a ninja is to output maximum DPS unless tank is doing a bad job or someone else screws up where I have to change my plans, it is not like playing bard in one sense of which bards have many skills which are party buff based and as such is DPS+support as a job. Ninjas job is keeping track on own CD's/DoTs/rotations and not messing up Mudras in an effort to maximize DPS while at same time putting more effort into dodging and tracking boss skills etc than tanks do because of how squishy we are and how we are treated as third class in healing priorities behind tanks and healers.

When SE fixes the UI, then I will be glad to throw out goads to people who need it since at that time I won't need them or want them to ask for it as then I will have been the tools in the UI to track and manage party TP myself whether on BRD or NIN. Currently SE have not supplied the in-game tool to make best use of that skill.

If was missing MP bars I bet many of you hypocrites hating on ninjas in here would be whining about SE not giving you that tool to do your jobs so put yourselves in the ninjas shoes and help fight for SE to fix the UI so we can get the benefit of a party TP bar much like you have an party MP one instead of just whining that ninjas apparently should cover yours asses because your too lazy to ask for something which is rarely ever needed in the first place.
