    Since when would your DPS disapprove of you doing more potency, especially given that anyone but a PLD will doubtless be doing the same at all times, and a PLD effectively most of the time?

    Because of the main mechanic of needing to keep both adds within 6%. Not all tanks gain damage off thier multi-target skills with only 2 targets over thier single target, same for DPS.

    Here's an example:
    DRK loses potency by using unleash/stalwart soul with 3 gcds by a massive amount. Using 2 targets unleash/stalward is 720 potency while their normal combo is 900. PLD also loses damage if they go for multi-target instead of single target on two adds. This is also the case for certain DPS jobs to where its better for them to single over multi.

    So now we get to my point again. If your comp has more jobs that are single target over multi 2 target then eventually one side is going to over take the other due to it being focused instead of spread. This results in DPS needed to swap targets a few times and put extra work into both adds rather than focusing on 'their add'.
