Should something be done about TP?

[SpeckledBurd]

I guess TP is fine the way it is?
Just like MP it can limit the AoE output a TP job can do. It's something you'll never worry too much in a raid unless you die, just like Magic DPS's MP, making both an extra variable over death's many penalties. Besides that each TP job has their own way built in their single target rotation to avoid over consumption of TP.

This scenario is much different from the past, coming a long way from ARR. The way it is right now is good, but I can see it being removed in the future while the game evolves. But if it doesn't, shouldn't be bad.

That's not true at all. Pretty much all non-casters will run out of TP and be unable to use any GCDs because their AOE gcds all have TP costs more than 200% of what their single target GCDs have. They go dry and they go dry relatively quickly.


The casters don't have that problem. Red Mage's Scatter is identical in cost to the single target skills Ver-Aero/Thunder which you're casting incredibly frequently with good RNG and the rest of it's AOE kit may as well be free (it costs TP but you use it so infrequently that you'll always regen back to full long before you need to Moulinet again). Black Mage literally never runs out of MP because of the way Umbral Ice works, so while it does have higher costs, it never runs into a situation where it can't cast unless the player does something wrong. Summoner's AOE is largely tied into it's oGCDs and aetherflow actions, so for absolutely no MP cost it can place dots with Tri-Disaster, spread them with bane, and then painflare twice to earn reduced costs on Tri-Bind and an AOE nuke. It's the closest to having a resource problem in AOE but it's still significantly better than the melee, ranged, and not-paladin tanks in that regard.
