Please :o)

i have been away from the game for quite some time, and many things have indeed changed that i think are just fine , and i am totally happy to hear chocobos are coming!

i just have one concern regarding battle. SE could you please reconsider a 30 sec cd on light strike and all the "initial" spells/abilities the jobs have?

i find that as a pug, i open up with light strike then pretty much just sit there for almost the full 30 sec Oo, that does seem a bit to the extreme. i do hit auto. once within that time frame but even so, its not enough tp gain to do....well....anything else since abilities require the tp to begin with

if light strike cd was removed (as it should have stayed imo), or even maybe 5 sec cd...battle would seem a bit more smooth and more importantly, consistant.

i realize stamina is gone and am so thankful for that..i see no issues with the cd on other abilities at all...just the one we count on to actually gain tp.

sitting stil for that long is just silly. even filling in with a magical cast of some form is fair bandaid but not really what pugs should be counting on imo

please think about it at least, i honestly find battle/combat has degraded not improved simply due to this. now its not nearly as noticeable with casters as they dont need the tp as much but for pure melee my con was alot easier to adapt to this change, but pug and any melee is outrigth suffering, its way overboard with a 30 sec cd

many thanks

The first thing you should do at your level is to go to the Pugilist guild and purchase Pummel, this will give you another basic attack (increased TP gain and damage) on a completely different timer. You could have/should have done that 9 levels ago, you even received an alert on your Pugilist Guild NPC linkpearl which flashes on your screen, and shows up in your chat log alerting you to the fact that you had a quest available there, the quest which unlocks Pummel).

Even at 19 Pugilist, you can hit light strike then invigorate, if you equip a 500 TP ability roughly around this time you can start using one of those (such as Skull Sunder). If not and you are soloing, or fighting a mob which uses an AOE, hit Featherfoot. Once you evade use Haymaker (or Jarring Strike if you are tanking). When you near 1000 TP use Raging Strikes and/or Ferocity before using a 1k TP weapon skill. If you are in a party you can be using blindside as well before a WS.

Even though you are still low level, there are many things you can be doing as a pugilist which does not require TP.
