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

[WinterSolstice]

The usefulness of the skill is rather lessened because we have to be told when to use it. I really don't think it should be needed for somebody to ask for Goad in a PUG.

Give us an option to be able to see other's TP, or possibly add a UI element to their name that activates when their TP is <50% or so.

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.

paladins would need both, but yeah, this

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.

If I ever play as NIN with a WAR, I would happily resupply their TP without being told, problem as it currently is some WAR would be afraid to say anything for the thought of being berated for not maintaining TP. You always run into assholes of those sorts. I mean, you would announce to group you're running out of TP? Or maybe I'm thinking too much into this.. ^^;

I always thought why hadn't they implemented like this. FFXI had it.

[Wobi]

I've wondered that myself but then again there is only so much room in the UI. A good measure is knowing what TP moves use up the most, I've mostly used it on Warrior tanks as after they have dropped a few Overpowers you can bet their TP is already nearing half or say a bard that just dropped 3 AoE moves in a row burning down a mob pack. It's not too hard to judge where the need might be greatest. However I do wish they could sneak the TP of other players in there somewhere in the UI.

[Ilitsa]

Agreed, fortunately for me I always run with my fiance and she's capable of -telling- me when her TP is low, I could see it being encumbersome to use it in a pug group though, kinda silly tbh

[StouterTaru]

If you're in a dungeon with a warrior/marauder tank, just give it to them halfway through big pulls so they can spam overpower. If you're doing raids, you probably have some kind of TS and/or a static and you'll learn when best to use it. Otherwise, it's not all that big of a deal.
