Thundercloud testing numbers:

	Freeze	DoT	TC III
low	3831	439	982
high	4230	486	1085
adj	4032.6	462.1	1033.7
adj	4028.6	462.9	1033.3
pot	100.00	44.70	390.12
pot	100.00	44.79	389.86

Does look like you've swapped your numbers for Freeze and TC III lol

There's no gain from the Thundercloud proc from Spellspeed. SE should adjust their Thundercloud tooltip because it does say "it will add its full damage over time damage amount to its initial damage. Did it by comparing Fire IV and the potencies were similar. Then again, TC3 Proc would be pretty broken if it would get double the Spellspeed Potency bonuses from DoTs.

The Potency bonus is definitely not the same as the GCD reduction. It looks like for every 1% GCD reduction you get, your DoTs increases by about 0.95% That's good to know because most BLMs are at about 12% GCD reduction with their spell speed so if we round at around a 11.5% DoT potency gain, we have ( 390 + 40 * 1.115 * 8 ) * 1.05 I'm adding the Enochian modifier because if you don't have Enochian... you did something terribly wrong lol. Its about 746.8 Potency and with the Enochian modifier, it's 784.14

Number aren't exact but it's nice to know at around 1150 Spell Speed, you gain 4.6 Potency per tick lol

I need to work on my stuff but things went horribly wrong at my job and I basically became an overtime tool lol
