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).

Messing with Death's Design is a possible way to tune RPR, but they'll have to be careful. Lowing that number does very broad adjustments.

IIRC, yoshi-p designed the job to be comparable to SAM. ATM it's more comparable to MNK based on Arcane Circle, and it holds true with RPR and MNK averaging around the same DPS. Whether that means that RPR should be tuned down to SAM, or SAM tuned up, or a little of both is up to SE. All I can say is the class design in definitely meant to be a damage dealer with having everything build up to burst windows, definitely not a utility job.
