It was... much rougher before, what with TP limiting physical moves and stance dancing.

air quotes on stance dancing. if you played a tank at the time, using your tank stance was worthless after like, the first two GCDs. you'd never go back. you'd mitigate some other way.

if you played a healer it was just a 'yes i can deal damage too' toggle in the form of cleric stance. which as you may have guessed involved no dancing and instead had a cooldown attached to it.

also TP was asinine and they had to give certain classes abilities to restore it. warrior had one and so did ninja, so ninjas could feed warriors more TP while they spammed their one-button rotation of overpower. there have been a handful of bad idea bandaids to the game design.
