Dear Ninjas
Use more Doton in the Cloud of Darkness fight during the dark clouds phase.

Eh, I've tried it a few times and it's not that great. It sounds like a good idea but the clouds die pretty quickly and randomly spawn, so you'd have to just get lucky that more than one even travels through it wherever you place it. Better to just quick nuke them with Raiton in my exprience. As for slowing them down, if people would quit hitting the clouds from the back and stand in front of them instead, that would work better.

The issue is with Ninjas who don't use it when people specifically ask for TP.

Personally I use myself as a gauge for TP use. If I feel like I am in a situation where TP usage is heavy, I'll pass off Goad to another melee DPS. If it's a long fight or a large pull, I'll Goad the Warrior. It's situational, but I don't see why anyone would not use it at all just because they can't see TP. Anything is better than nothing.

It does kinda bug me to get Goad requests when there are 2 Bards in the party though....

People think we know well their TP, think we can rely on what their are doing to see their TP Issues, the only way for us to know their TP is based on our own and it's not really an exact science, that is why most of time a ninja goad... another ninja, it's a way to told them "hey i'm running out of tp so do you, i give you goad, give me yours !" and it work perfectly, nearly all the time.
i usually use it on war too when he's doing big pull, or on a recently raised target.

other than that, if you dont ask, you dont get, unless i'm running myself out of tp or we set it before the run.
