Goad - the ability that doesn't exist

How about a deal? You throw up Army's Paean for my rock bottom tp, and I'll give you a goad, sound fair? Bards shouldn't have a need for goad if there's another aoeing physical DPS, because Paean recovers tp for EVERYONE, and most times the other dps is out at the same time. Sorry, but your measly 110 isn't worth my goad when there's other heavier hitters in the party.

Well, if this is a dungeon (light party), then the only other DPS with the Brd is the Nin. I'm pretty sure that I will use more TP than a nin in an AOE situation (and they can't goad themselves anyway). In a raid boss encounter I agree. Use the ability that the situation requires.

And by the way, my "measly" 110 is multiplied by each mob in the group. What abilities do you use to impart net 660 damage to a group of 6 mobs (common big pull size)?

Gotta love the folks that say "i will start using goad when I see more brds using Foe's". I said this before, I'm not going to join in your race to the bottom.
