Long fight (bosses) and TP pool ?

I'm currently playing a glad, i noticed that during long fight especially bosses, i will often ran out of TP before the boss dies.  Even using my least TP hungry abilities, i often myself out of TP with the boss being 1/4 or even 1/3 full.   I'm stuck at using auto-attack until i get some of my TP back.   Are you guys having problems with the TP pool ?  Unless i miss something there is no potion to restore some of it.   I'm aware marauder? have an ability to restore some of it, but at 24 Gladiator (tanks) have none.

    well you are talking about sub classes.

    when you choose warrior or paladin that probably will change, and you might be able to cross class with those marauder abilities.

    Hmm well; that is a long time to wait if having issues already at 24.

    bumping this cause i think it's a major issues.  Maybe reduce the cost of the ability, i'm almost 30 now, i've been tanking dungeons and it's a big issue....

    You just have to manage your TP better and choose which abilities you use carefully. As a WHM, I have similar issues with my MP running out in long battles, especially when I have to use AoE heals often. But if I am careful and only heal when necessary (especially taking advantage of Freecure), then my MP problems are less frequent.  Your job as a tank is to hold enmity and take damage, so just focus on that and don't use damage skills if the fight is long

    Ive been chain tanking dungeons as glad. Done the first 4 quite a few times each now. I have no problem managing my tp. You don't need to hit a button every 2.5 seconds. You have an aoe taunt that uses mana instead of tp.

    Its not a major issue, you just gotta pick and choose when to use your tp consuming abilities. 6 seconds of auto attack restores about 1/3 of your tp bar which is basically about as harmless as skipping one global cooldown.

    I've been tanking dungeons, I'm 35 and TP isn't an issue at all.

    Killing dragons is my shit

    At lvl 50 both WARs and PLDs will run out of TP when in long boss fights with 100% uptime. There's nothing you can do except wait for regen really. Luckily 100% uptime fights are quite rare. Just a few secs away from the boss every now and then is enough not to run out of TP.
