So you're telling me..

I think the issue is Shadow/Whorl of Death. This is 300/100 potency x 10%. Add that to your total potency over full rotation and you get big damage.

For Arcane Circle, I just use that to beef up my enshroud phase and it just so happens others benefit from that.

Naturally it's a brand new job and I guess Yoshida wanted everyone to try it so he gave it big attractable damage.

I don't see that many RPRs like before though and it's not without its problems (animation lock on attacks when you try to use ingress/egress/regress right after).
