Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

Still need some insight on this:

When calculating buffed potency, say Heavy Thrust, "Increases damage dealt by 15%"

Is it (potency) * 1.15

Or (potency) / .85

The reason I ask is I'm in sales. When I mark something up (profit margin), we divide by the reciprocal. This is increasing the value of the product by (profit margin), not taking a percentage of the value and adding to it.

Examples:

300 potency * 1.15 = 345
(this just takes 15% of the base 300 value and adds to it)

300 potency / .85 = 352.94
(this actually increases value by 15%)

I'm leaning toward the latter, but I'm not sure which is the proper way to calculate. Any thoughts? There is a drastic difference at higher percentages.

Take B4B, HT, Dis (conservative 8% increase)
25+15+8 = 48%

330 potency * 1.48 = 488.4

330 potency / .52 = 634.61
