Potential does have it's merits though. It's a matter of time before people find ways to optimize their class and role relative to the fight. Especially for blackmages and melee (T13 with earthshakers for example). It can also be on the other end of the spectrum when I was doing GB tests on dummies and it only amounted to a 1-3% damage increase over non-GB. It showed serious concern if your peak dps was that low assuming absolute perfection.
