    You can verify this by taking your weapon damage, dividing it by 3 and then multiplying it by your auto-attack speed. This will give you your auto-attack damage. Conversely, if you want to verify that it's 100 potency every 3 seconds, you can divide your auto-attack damage by your auto-attack speed and then divide your weapon damage by that number, which will always come out to 3.
    Thanks, Kitru. That math works out I suppose, though I don't quite get where the 100 potency comes from.. Maybe it's just over my head lol.. Like the Bravura Animus, for example, 56.18 AA 3.44 delay, I guess I thought that was a 56.18 potency AA per 3.44 sec

    Potency is basically a multiplier to your weapon damage, which is then tweaked by attack power and determination, with each point of potency representing 1% of your weapon damage. As such, a 280 potency attack will do 280% of the damage that your auto-attack does over 3 seconds (which is 100 potency as previously mentioned). It's a bit more complicated than that, but that's the simple version.
