Why does Retaliation counters gain TP but not MNK's counter?

[Taint2]

Lets not forget using counterstance is still risky mnk/war. For mnk/nin its pretty standard inside and outside abyssea

I always think its silly when MNKs/NIN and use counterstance. All you do is open yourself up to more damage from TP moves. Perfect counter alone is enough to keep shadows up at all times.
