dual wield jobs with tiny delay values gain less benefit from STP, iirc.

thats not how store tp works.

Store TP is after you USE a WS.. it 'saves' a set amount. in this case it save +8 more tp than it normally would.

If you want to test this.. take the gear off.. figh an easy mob.


USe the ws .. find out how much tp you START with AFTER you use the WS.

Put the gear back on... use the WS again.. you should START with +8 tp compared to what you did with the gear off

Do not listen to this person. You may be talking about conserve TP (having been out of the game for a long time, I'm not sure about the mechanics of it), but that is certainly not how store TP works.

Edit: I feel I should link to a thread that explains how it works properly, but alas, I don't know of any off-hand.

Probably, but it's most likely only a tenths place decimal increase. What is all your store TP added up?

No... definetly not.
STP boosts the ammount of tp you are getting with each hit. 8 stp is going to get you less the .5 I think, someone else will have to get you the math.

No, that's how save TP works.

Store TP plain adds a +% TP pet hit, given by the total store TP from equipment or job trait.

Aurore set is +8 so you'll get 8% more TP per hit (truncated after first digit).

That's not even conserve TP, it's save TP.

This is not true; that is sort of what Save TP does. Store TP affects every hit.

It's store TP, if we knew what daggers you had it would be easy to tell you the difference.

4.7 TP per hit without aurore, and 5 with. 9.4 per round without is going to show up as 9 until after three rounds then it'll show as 10, and with aurore will always be 10 per round.
