what
the
fuck
Took me 20mins to calculate this entire thing, just what the fuck are the devs (that are paid to do this) doing to just go
>meh, lets give it +5 and expect it to cover up a fucking ~1200 potency gap

I was going to do this for every job with raid buffs but fuck this shit, now I'm mad.
