Its not the numbers being low that make it poor, its the fact that it cannot actually help your dps if you are running out on long fights.

It needs to be redesigned.

I understand that they need Bards to be useful with their songs, but the TP song is also fairly lackluster, and is a dps loss while singing it.

Shrug. Support has its uses but your stats should not be useless.
That's why I said it just needs to refund as much TP as it made you spend. So I agree with a refund mechanic but only to the extent of removing the cost.
If it did that, it'd be essentially speeding up your damage and adding more attacks over time for no cost.

Right now, with no regen, it's doing the same but you'll run out of TP and it won't matter that you got there faster.
That's why I said TP will be a problem when the numbers get higher and Skill Speed actually useful.

Even if you gave that regen mechanics to Skill Speed right now, people still wouldn't stack it. Why?
Because the gains from it are too low. That will change as items get higher budgets.
When people will WANT to stack it, they still won't cause they'll hit a dead end with TP.

Sorry if I wasn't clear in my first post.
i.e. Don't take away the 'haste' stat, just remove the cost of the gains.
