    For what it's worth as a heads up, potency displaying as something different in tooltip from the actual potency is fairly common and definitely not limited to just pet actions. None of the BLM fire spells display the actual potency for example. They at least have a tooltip for astral fire that says fire spell potency is increased, which is a step up from pet potencies, but it still says nothing about by how much it gets increased.

    That's a bit different since, unlike the pet potencies, the BLM potencies, specifically for fire spells but also for their other spells, are a base, with an added multiplier that just happens to be consistent (stance and enochian). But unlike the pets, since the buff is a constant it becomes irrelevant in the long run, similar to Dragoon's buff. Now I'm not saying the tool tips couldn't be a bit more accurate, but it's not entirely the same thing as the pet potencies.

    I like helping people with their Job ideas, it's fun to help them visuallize and create the job they'd like to play most. Plus I make my own too, I'll post them eventually.

    I believe it's like this:
    When in
    Astral Fire I 140% fire, 90% ice
    Astral Fire II 160% fire, 80% ice
    Astral Fire III 180% fire, 70% ice

    Umbral Ice I 90% fire, 100% ice
    Umbral Ice II 80% fire, 100% ice
    Umbral Ice III 70% fire, 100% ice

    Oh, I know. The community has figured those numbers out long ago. It'd just be nice if there was a tooltip somewhere that said it.

    maybe those numbers have been found the same elsewhere, but I got them from my own interest and enjoyment of figuring out what they are. So for me there was something in not everything being revealed. I was waiting for Prey Online in Azys Lla when I looked into it myself through damage numbers
