    Oiled Self Destruct 1200 + Bristle(50%) + Flute(50%) + Off-Guard(50%) + Light(30%) = 3360 potency AoE

    Now
    Final Sting 2000 + Bristle(50%) + Flute(50%) + Off-Guard(5%) = 4100 potency single target
    Oiled Self Destruct 1800 + Bristle(50%) + Flute(50%) + Light(5%) = 3690 potency AoE

    So it looks like Final Sting and Oiled Self Destruct are both buffed.

    Light is seeing a major damage nerf, with a 50% increased duration.

    Single target damage is seeing a buff compared to old Off-Guard(50%) hits. Old Water cannon at 120+50%=180 vs. 200 potency now. Song of Torment getting a 100% buff on the DoT and same for Feather Rain DoTs.

    Primal abilities are seeing a nerf in their damage compared to old Off-Guard damage, but the drop-off damage on multi-hit is fixed at 50%.

    Over-all AoE sees a small nerf compared to old potencies if you aren't accounting for Light. Old Glower potency AoE 130 vs. 110 now.

    So all in all, stronger single target and death-burst, weaker AoE with the changes.
    FYI, this isn't correct, buffs stack mulitplicatively in FF14 not additively, before Final Sting was ~5000 pot and Self Destruct was ~5200 pot not including the traited damage ups because I forgot if they interact the same way

    Now they are Final Sting ~4700 Pot and Self Destruct ~4200 pot

    So they have both been nerfed, same with the Primal Burst Seeing a larger nerf due to lack of multiplicative scaling.

    Edit: Maths in case you want to see what I mean

    Old:
    Sting
    (1500+750(bristle))*1.5(off guard)*1.5(Moon Flute)= ~5000 (if the trait also takes part in the multiplicative part of the formula ~7500)
    Self Destruct
    (1200+600(bristle))*1.5(off guard)*1.5(Moon Flute)*1.3(Pec Light)=~5200 ((if the trait also takes part in the multiplicative part of the formula ~7800)
    New:
    Sting
    (2000+1000(bristle))*1.5(Moon Flute)*1.05(Off Guard)= ~4700
    Self Destruct
    (1800+900(bristle))*1.5(Moon Flute)*1.05(Off Guard)=~4200
