    The restore is from Goad, not Shield Swipe. Senseless to claim Shield Swipe restores TP.

    I don't think you understand what I'm talking about. I'm going to explain because I'm feeling nice.
    In battle, with no outside source of TP, you restore 60 TP every roughly 3 seconds, which is based on an internal server timer, which is the same used to DoTs and HoTs. This means that if you were to only spend 60 TP every 3 seconds, you'd be spending an exactly equal amount to what which you naturally regen, ergo, you'd remain at a stable quantity of TP over time. Weaponskills commonly cost 60 TP, on a GCD of 2.5 seconds of less, and thus slowly drain your TP as your natural TP regen can't keep up with your expenses. Shield Swipe is a weaponskill, on the GCD, with a cost of only 40 TP. What this means is that any time you're using Shield Swipe you're spending 2.5 seconds using less TP than you naturally regenerate in a similar amount of time. Ergo Shield Swipe constitutes a minor TP restore, or, if you will, a way of saving TP. If you don't want to accept this explanation I have nothing else for you as it is common knowledge and in fact its currently considered Shield Swipe's only genuine use, as the skill is a DPS loss in comparison to the potency from the combos you get at level 54 and 60.
