Thanks for the TP display!

[Waeksyn]

Thanks SE for implementing a display of TP for party members! This is great! Now I will get Goad from Ninjas on my Brd for all those heavy AOE pulls!!!

Except, wait ... since implemented, I've had exactly ZERO ninjas give me goad, even when I have next to no TP at all. The last time, I even asked twice and nothing.

Just a reminder to all ninjas that this is, indeed, one of the skills that you have. You could actually use it! Just a thought.

Bad players will be bad players, regardless of the information they are presented.

[LunaSnowfield]

Nawwh.

Too busy for that.

I'll give bards goad when they learn how to play a single song.

As a Bard you have access to Invigorate so I don't see the issue. Don't have Invigorate? Well, that's a problem you can easily fix. Personally I'd rather see Goad go to the tank. Yes, this is me, the Bard, saying Goad should go to the tank. I'm just a DD, my job is to kill things and sing songs. If I start going yellow I slow down on my output so the tank can get it back without spamming moves (unless it's something like a bee, then I go ahead and draw aggro as I dump everything in murdering it). I don't need Goad, and will never ask for it. But if you need Paeon then I'm perfectly fine obliging.

TP bars come and bad players still bad. Remember this when people bring up parsers :^ )

[Canadane]

I find most people continue to ignore the bars unless they're the supporting role in an endgame static where people specifically tell them to look out for it.
The only reason I can think of for this is because there's no legitimate support role, just DPS classes with some support options. So that Ninja isn't going to think about looking up at a bar, especially since he's had a year+ of motion training to only respond to chat when asked for a goad.
A bard MIGHT be a bit more helpful since they're sometimes (rarely, but it happens) looking at the healers MP bar. They may glance at the TP bars as well.

If we had actual support roles with classes that aren't designated to add damage from themselves, then maybe we'd have a quicker turnaround on the random pickups responding to low TP issues without prompts.
But that's likely not something going to happen.

Ummmmm as a bard I looove it when NIN goads me, thanks.

Though TBF I do play songs..

[Taur]

I goad all the time since we've gotten the tp bar. Some people just don't pay attention to that yet. Just ask and if they don't do it try caps lock

As a Ninja I'll goad the Bard when the tank elects to pull a lot of minions at a time, often times with just a bard and a melee as dps. Personally I'm happy there is a way now of making a decision as to who actually needs the Goad more and I can also assess it from the perspective of how weak the minions are and how much more damage they might need from an AOE perspective.
