Why do we have 1000 TP? Would it be better if we had 100?

One of the rumored changes to Skill Speed coming in Heavensward is that it may end up changing the amount of TP recovered per tick.

Check how much skill speed you have on your gear. Even with a base GCD of 2.5, every DoW class runs at a TP deficit. Skill Speed and other attack speed buffs just makes the Deficit worse because you are still recovering the same amount of TP every 3 seconds while at the same time spending more TP per second.

Yup... I'm already going for the monk BiS type of "0 skill speed"

And so far, almost completed... Yet in some turns of FCOB you still having troubles, especially those without certain pauses... (In t12 for example it's easier, after certain phases and mini phases, I can even abuse with ToD and fracture...)

t10 is crazy for TP....

T13.. Well, those dives kind of give you a little of time to recover TP also.

In the rest of content, monk can still abuse the TP, at least with my current skill speed.

PS: I really hope skill speed would become that useful.

I kind of figured for myself that is the reason why everyone says that Skill Speed is useless. I do hope that rumored change will be true, so it can have some sort of use.
