Barrage turbine TP gain

[Mizuharu]

I've noticed that Barrage from an automaton is less TP than what it should be.

3 hits/Only 4TP a hit; up to 12.
4 hits/16
5hits/20
Normal ranged attack TP gain is 9

Nothing major or anything, but was wondering if it'd be too game breaking to make it so Automaton's Barrage granted TP for every hit landed. :x

I noticed it too but I bet its for balance reasons. 5 hits @ 9tp a hit would be crazy tp spikes (and make it harder for me to solo light w/o retrieve >.>")

I'm not entirely sure how the mechanics of barrage turbine work yet, though I love the damage it produces.

How did you ensure/know that it hit 3, 4, or 5 times?
