    Step by step: If (1) you allow for double-Higan DoTs, you've added 215 potency per minute, at cost of variety. Such would, however, be a reasonable buff, which is why I noted it first and separately; it is in the realm of possibility. If (2) you allow for a second TG per minute without the prior change, you still add roughly over 800 potency per minute, all instantly at level 76 -- an unreasonable buff. If (3) you add both together, you add over 1000 potency per minute -- an especially unreasonable and unifocal buff -- and suddenly outperform BLM just because you want even more Iajutsu casts?
    Can 1000 potency more per 1 minute really make SAM surpassed BLM?

    *Why don't you say Iaijustu instead of Midare in the first place? It sound like you changing the word which each reply*

    1000 potency per minute is quite a bit more than most peoples lvl 80 capstone skills added for comparison.
    That doesn't mean it's necessarily too much, but 1000 potency is definitely very significant.

    NIN's 50 on gust slash, (used about once every 7 seconds) so a 500 potency gain per minute ish resulted in about 200 dps gain. potency is not even between classes, but SAM only lags behind BLM by about 500 dps iirc.

    The potency buff was meant to bring us above DGN and MNK and make up for our absolute zero ultility. SMN,RDM and BLM could ask for more potency buff later too.
