What should I be doing with my TP?

Re: What should I be doing with my TP?

If the DD in my party is not willing to do Skillchain, I would use the following trick:

If your SC partner lanches a WS when your TP is in between 80% and 99% TP, use Mediate. When your TP reach 100+% (from Mediate or from hitting the mob), "instantly" hit your WS macro. After the Skillchain is completed and Mediate is ended, you will have 80+% TP again, when your SC partner TP usually is below 30%.

Using the trick from above, combine with a decent amount of accuracy, most of the time I am ready for SC whenever my SC partner TP is ready for WS. Thus, even if the DD in my party is not willing to do Skillchain, there will always be Skillchains

Good idea. If they are too selfish to go for efficiency, and you gain TP at a much faster rate, then you may as well take advantage of their WS spam and turn it into SC spam.

Two nice ideas about this
-If you are closing the SC, then you can pretty much force a WS, whether they like it or not.
-If they are the would-be SC closers, then it's harder to do...but if you have (TParty) loaded and you're noticing they spam at 100% TP every time, then you can try to toss your WS right before theirs and they're going to get hate from their WS and from the SC effect. If the mob eats their face one too many times, they may be willing to coordinate a SC at the right time to mitigate hate to DDs.
