Phoenicia are you seriously counting the potencies of combo moves based solely on their finishers? lmao. Why not actually average the potencies of the entire weaponskill combo? Oh wait, its because doing it that way doesn't support your claims of PLD DPS OP. Delirium 60 potency behind Royal authority? Please,
Delirium is (150 + 250 + 280)/3 = 226.6... average potency/gcd
Royal Authority is (150 + 200 + 340)/3 = 230... average potency/gcd

And the Goring Blade you insist is so incredibly strong? Assuming you get lucky and the last tick doesn't clip
Goring Blade is (150 + 230 + 540)/3 = 306.6... average potency/gcd
To compare Dark Arts Soul Eater is (150 + 250 + 400)/3 = 266.6... weaker for certain, but usable more often and fully benefits from Slashing debuff (which DoT ticks do not benefit from), nevermind that DRK has a 500 potency DoT with no required wind-up and a 60 tp cost in Scourge.

Counting the potency of WAR combos as if it was Oh So Low is particularly funny since unless you don't know your rotation at all they will all benefit from Maim's +20% damage bonus, which leaves Butcher's Block alone at a "potency" of 336 -nearly that of Royal Authority-.

The glorious balance where its only brought to one out of four endgame raids, lol.
