Is TP interesting as a mechanic?

4, it should be revamped it's useless


TP has virtually zero purpose right now. It just prevents melee job to spam aoe and... that's it.
There's no way you can run out of TP by doing single target in a bosss fight and there shouldn't be a way either.

Imo, any bar that has no purpose for the said job should be removed or replaced with something new.

While I don't necerly like to compare FF14 to WoW, something very nice WOW did was removing the useless bar for something that fits the job mechanic. If the bar couldn't be removed than spell cast are tunned down so low that the bar is just here for the sake of being here.
For instance, the TP bar could be replaced by a rage bar for the Warrior. Rage does matter, your TP don't.
Same for the Eatherflux from both Scholar and Summoner.
Something like that (the shadowball would be eatherflux) would make more sens
Other example, the moonkin Sun and Moon bar going back and forth was a great addition.
As a Astromancer, I'd rather have my TP bar replaced by icons showing which card I picked, kept and Royalised than having to look at my buff bar. Ofc we're just moving the information. But it makes more sens, instead of having a useless TP bar I have a bar with my cards stuff.

Also, not only should they remove the TP bar but it should actually be replaced with proper new ressource and interesting mechanic for everyone. Same for the mana for caster dps. The only DPS having to take a good care of its mana is the Blackmage, the bar is useless to every other DPS and tank beside, maybe, Paladin. (but the way he uses mana is so dull that it could be easily revamped)
