About that TP bar

[Kotemon]

The bar has visible for the whole party for a few weeks now. So, does anyone (Tank or DPS) still have to call out for Goad or Paeon when your TP runs low or is nearly out? For all of the intent, it just seems like nothing's changed for the most part. Aside from some folks nit-picking about the bar in general.

Well I mean, there's times that a healer has to call out for Ballad too. If you need it, don't be shy about calling it out. Odds are the DPS in question is just focusing on rotation and mechanics and hasn't noticed.

So far I have had to call out for Goad to every Ninja I have met. ^^; Must just be unlucky I guess.

Problem is, getting to half~ TP is normal in a standard rotation for my Monk and Dragoon. Ill get to to that halfway point and then hit Invig and suddenly I'm full TP again.

I don't know what you may or may not be planning, and i don't want to waste a Goad on a DRG who hits Invig at exactly the same time.
Sure, i CAN see it, and on my AST i will throw Spire on whoever has the least TP (usually the Tank, they don't have any TP restores) but generally a DPS can handle their own TP regen. So while i can see you getting low, unless you tell me you can't fix it yourself, I have to assume you've planned around it.
Its certainly handy to see, especially on my BRD and MCH since i know when its safe to turn off the Regen. Just because MY TP is full doesn't mean everyone else is also full and that Bar lets me monitor it properly.

As one playing Astrologian as my healing class (I DPS main, but enjoy healing on the side) ... I am in love with the viewable TP bars. Finally FINALLY getting stuck with The Spire doesn't feel like such a Whammy anymore lol ...

[ShaneDawn]

As a Ninja, I can actually see who needs TP now. No more "lol I didn't even need that " remarks to deal with for me.

Simply useful. But you do need to be aware of when people are poping invigorates usually. I tend to check every so often besides keeping my eye on healer MP. If I see someone going beyoned 50% chances are they need TP regen.

[Alistaire]

Even if they have invigorate ready there are times it's beneficial to enable someone to save it for a bit later.

I have been getting pretty good results from ASTs. Ninjas are another story though, but that could mostly be because most of them I run into are mouth breathing morons with anime names that don't even know what Goad does.

I'm not going to bother bards though considering the dmg loss they take. I just leave it up to them.

I main NIN, and I'll admit that at first I did not really pay attetion to the TP bar, cause it was still new to me. And for some reason, it manages to hide itself so damn well in between all the buff/deuff icons...

I wish I could simply click on a player name, and choose between either MP or TP bar, instead of having both displayed, but still have that as an option aswell.

But getting more used to having it means being more observant to it.
