Yeah I definitely prefer your concept of it being an automatic damage return rather than a triggered button, though if there's no cooldown on the button you press then I guess it's a similar thing.

The issue with Reprisal right now is the cooldown - even massively stacking parry you're not going to see too much of an increase in its overall dps contribution because it's probably available to be pressed frequently enough already. Shield Swipe has the issue that it's ON gcd, which means it replaces another move. Right now its only 210 potency which makes it a DPS LOSS to press in all situations outside of needing to use it to lower TP consumption in very long fights.

Boosting Shield Swipe's potency and reducing the cooldown of Reprisal will both help a lot.
