Dark Arts Bloodspiller

Regarding potency numbers only, I do agree with you guys. DA adds 140 potency for both Soul Eater and Bloodspiller (without Grit). However, what about the real damage you gain with DA?

I do not know exactly how FFXIV's formulas work, but I am thinking with just simple math. Potency acts like a base for our damage that can be multiplified by buffs, gear, debuffs, CH, DH, etc. So if DA would add 140 potency for both skills we should prioritize to use it in our skill with the highest base potency (Bloodspiller). This way we will have a larger number (540 of potency instead of 440) that will be more affected for the multiplification factors and will result in a larger dps gain when synced with raid buffs like Trick Attack, Littany and Chain Strategem.
