SE: Why give us Goad if we can't see other's TP?

[WinterSolstice]

Actually, even if i could see the Tanks TP, i still would prefer HIM to decide whether or not he needs the TP boost. Same for DPS. While sure, its nice to get a Goad as a Monk if im scraping the barrel, But if im down to half as part of my normal expenditure rotation and have Invig ready to go, well you just wasted your 3min CD.

Sure, however the fact that the option isn't there makes the skill, more often then not, go completely unused in pugs. Of course there will be people who waste their goad when the see a MNK with 50% TP and the trash pack is almost dead...however as of now the only viable options are:

1. Keep tabs on what skills the other party members are using, use goad when you think they might need it.
2. Have them type out in chat, during the middle of a fight, that they need goad.

Neither of those are even close to acceptable. I'd much rather be able to make an informed decision by seeing their current TP, rather than for them to stop what they are doing and type it out. I don't want a BRD to stop his AOE just to tell me he needs TP so he can AOE, I want to see it for myself and allow him to AOE without stopping.

Or just have MP visible for casters and TP visible for Melee in the party list. Keep them the same colors we have down at the bottom of the screen as well and you'd have easy checking.

I'm surprised they haven't done this already. DRG, MNK, NIN, and WAR don't really use MP (unless the WAR has on Flash), so there's really no point in ever seeing their MP amounts, since it will pretty much never be used.

No where in my post did i disagree with the notion of having TP visible.

In fact, I'd very much like the ability to customize the MP bar to display either TP or MP based on a class filter we set in our character options. >_>

I don't mind having TP displayed as well as MP. I mean, it's already the case for the PC. In the party list, you have your TP showing just fine, but no one else in the party has theirs showing, which is really weird.

[ruskie]

I'd say they should split the MP bar horizontally in two and assign one to TP the other to MP and then you have the same amount of space used but it shows both.

As it is right now... I use Goad when I expect AoE fun!... For example, a drg,mnk,bard or other ninja is in my party and tank takes two or three groups?! Goad to my companion! (Funny thing with other ninjas, they see I use goad on them because my macro tells them, but they don't give me Goad back when it wouldn't be bad idea!)

If I'm in party with a caster but the tanker is a warrior I give goad to the warrior to abuse overpower during the AoE fun (I'd love to receive it when I'm with my warrior taking big groups so... I think on it when I'm in the DPS side)

When I'm in party with caster and PLD... Okay... I give it to PLD just for the lulz, and in lulz moments. But once in a dungeon a PLD asked me for "TP regen please". I shocked.

1. Open macro interface

People should be able to choose which resource (Mp or tp) they want to see for each party member or the bar automatically refreshes to the resource that is used
