Burts giving 10tp/tic changed nothing. PUP was still the least played job down with COR due to lack of procs and an overabundance of DD. The constant regain helped to make up for the Puppets lackluster DD frames which largely hamstrung by the job ability delay that forces a PUP to limit using maneuvers because of the harm done to master DPS.

So now you had a utility weapon that could basically automatically build TP on your automaton while you tried to melee and SE hosed it instead of noticing that overall Burts were well-liked and added a unique aspect to a low population job.

The Tactical Switch glitch was worth fixing and Burts were a pointless nerf. Hell, even if they had nerf it'd have been better to compromise and drop it to 5tp/tic instead of 1/tic which is absolutely useless.
