Using Fracture, compared to the average combo attack, is an extra 100 Potency. It is also more efficient Potency per TP. Using it 6-7 times in a fight is like having an extra full combo worth of damage. Even if you're really selective on when you use Fracture and only use it when you have Maim, Berserk and Storm's Eye up and outside of Defiance (or Unchained) it's still significant. "Laughably marginal" is an exaggeration.
