Low level Combat gameplay and Job identity is HORRIBLE.

I done some maths, just for the FoF window, the difference in potency between a PLD in Sastasha and level 90 is this:

2500 potency over 20 seconds for on level PLD, Level 90 PLD does between 6537.5 and 7037.5 potency (between weakest GCDs and strongest GCDs in the 3 free GCDs). That is an increase of 2.615-2.815 and yes, that is using oGCDs of 50 potency (even CoS being 50 potency in total).

To put this into context, if your PLD done 10% of a bosses HP in that 20 seconds, at level 18, at level 90, you will shave off 26-28% of that same HP, this is also before we start taking into account the rest of the party.

Not to mention this punishes jobs that rely on oGCDs for damage. A Job like Warrior is going to suffer less compared to a DRK.

Oh no! Leveling dungeons might be faster.

The Horror!

Also, that potency doesn't matter as much when it's determined by the ilvl capped weapon damage modifier.
