Sprint Idea

[Zigkid3]

if it drains TP for disciple of war then it should drain MP for disciple of magic at the very least imo (though BLMs would still have it good).

it cripples melee who need it the most. and gives no hindrance to casters what so ever who don't even need it as badly since they're ranged in the first place.

What people need to understand is, Sprinting is rarely useful, if at all. I can't think of a single instance in which I sprint, I really can't. It's more novelty than anything. It's NOT a hindrance to ANY class because it isn't a NECESSITY.

I can't think of a single instance where I don't use sprint as BLM. I'm surprised more casters don't use it all the time. It's far from make or break, but I don't think any job has 2 cross class skills better than it.

In which I "need" to sprint, sorry lol

I realized what you were saying, there aren't any instances where I "need" to use Raging Strikes, or a healer "needs" to use swiftcast. Being able to do content without an ability doesn't mean it isn't damn useful.

Bad comparison; really bad. Since my last post was eaten, I don't feel like matching the word limit again.

Then have all DRGs not use their cooldowns. It's not needed. Divine Seal? Who needs it. What's an Aetherflow stack?
Sprint does NOT equate to the usefulness of those abilities, including Swiftcast and Raging Strikes.

"I don't think any job has 2 cross class skills better than it."

Cleric Stance; Swiftcast? Invigorate; Blood for Blood; Internal Release?

In movement intensive fights it saves me at least one cast every time I use it, that's as useful as gimped down versions of cross class skills.

I hope you realise how stupid an idea that is. Melees and casters both need their respective resources as much as each other, but TP can be regenerated incredibly rapidly via auto-attacks whilst MP can't. If casters were forced to use MP for sprinting they would be rendered completely useless whilst melees will have a few hundred TP back in a matter of seconds from auto-attacks. This just sounds like the age old 'I can't have so neither can they' attitude to me...

TP is essentially stamina. It makes sense that sprinting drains TP and it makes sense that only the physically oriented jobs share their primary resource with it. In terms of mechanics there is never a point in the game that truly requires sprinting so there's no argument to be made there. If anything though casters are more likely to actually need to sprint due to repositioning at range requiring players to cover more distance, whereas melees can often just sidestep a few feet to dodge a conal AOE or run right through a boss. Physical DPS jobs also have a multitude of gap-closers and repositioning tools that most of the casters do not.
