As a main job MNK that attended Fanfest 2007, when they announced Retaliation and said the counters would gain TP, I was in the crowd of people that booed. I have never understood why MNKs, who have had the ability to counter for like always, and a job ability to boost that rate at the sacrifice of defense, have not been given TP on their counters.

The only thought I have for why is that it's because MNK's Counter is always active, since it's a job trait. If that's the case, I think that when Counterstance is active, a MNK should gain TP on their counters. They're sacrificing a huge amount of defense to have that ability active. WAR, on the other hand, sacrifices movement speed. Because the WAR is going to be moving around so much when s/he's being clobbered.

So essentially, I'm just asking for TP gain on counters, and failing that, TP gain on counters when Counterstance is active.

Before anyone asks, yes, I know MNKs already gain TP fast. I'm greedy. =D
