The direct potency combo might be a "filler" relative to a DoT combo or buff combo, but you could easily think of it as being "unlocked", for that greater ppgcd in itself, by the buff and DoT combo (and, obviously, the one which best synergizes with the likes of Reassemble or Life Surge).
yeah. but it doesn't mean much if it's 123 or 111.
Because the only thing to "unlock" potency is that you press a req button.
it gives the illusion of a combo only because they're separate. When truth is, they aren't really.
Because you will 123 all day.
The APM doesn't change.
The way you play don't change.
The way you weave don't change.
What you weave don't change.
The class doesn't change.
The only really noticeable change is more freed space on the hotbar.
