I can't confirm this. I've had some memorable (though few) moments of 21 TP return on WS. And yes, I'm very sure I wasn't hit in that time, also, the damage I dealt pointed towards a 6-hit as well. I clearly remember a 2.3k WS on a Mamool Ja with 21 TP return. It's also happened in Dynamis recently with a 3.4k RR.

I don't know what caused it, I didn't have Store TP rolls and every normal melee hit I did gave 16.x TP (and I had the same Store TP in WS gear, Brutal + Rajas). A convenient explanation would be a threefold Double Attack. Or it was an exceptionally critical double hit when Conserve TP kicked in, to return this weird value. I'm not sure, but it's happened more than once, enough to cast a shadow of doubt on that statement.

Also, assuming you had capped accuracy and full Double Attack merits and would WS in useful Double Attack gear, the chance for this to happen would be way under 1%. So on average it wouldn't even happen once in over a 100 WS. And chances are occasionally you won't notice, or conserve TP would kick in and ruin the value, or you'd get hit right after and your measure would be off, etc. There's a high chance you wouldn't notice it even after quite a few merit parties.

Again, not sure what it really was, but those incidents really had me confused and I can't explain them any other way.
