Goad - the ability that doesn't exist

[Waeksyn]

...its much better for the party to give it to a PLD than a BRD because BRD should NEVER need it.

As others have said, you could always ask if there is a spare goad going around, but you should use your own utility first, as that is what others are expecting.

As I've said in my posts, I do use the other utilities.

You are correct that brd, or for that matter anybody, doesn't NEED goad. Lots of parties complete dungeons without a single nin in the party at all! Amazing!

It is, though, no excuse to not use the abilities you have to benefit the party. When I see myself with <200 TP, invigorate already used, all other party members at 800 TP+, no goad on anyone (and no goad cast at all in the entire raid), I got to wonder.

The main problem with Goad is that it does nothing for the Ninja, therefore, why use it?
