before or after potential?
Before:
att +13%, all stat +7%, boss +30%
or
After:
boss +60%, critical rate +10%

I'm a xenon and currently have 90% critical, 222% boss w/ dojo gloves
Mini crit is 41% and max crit is 65%
What do you guys think?

A)
att +13%, all stat +7%, boss +30%
Assuming your % att is roughly 30%, in which case 13% more att is a 10% dps increase
Assuming your % all stat is roughly 100%, in which case 7% more all stat is a 3.5% dps increase
Assuming your buffed %total+%boss is roughly 300%, in which case 30% more boss is roughly a 7% dps increase.
Net dps increase = 10+7+3.5 = 20.5%
B)
60% boss is roughly a 14% dps increase.
10% more crit is 0.1*(41%+65%)/2 = 5.3% more damage
Net dps increase = 14+5.3 = 19.3%
Summary)
The two potentials are extremely close so it comes down to other factors.
The outlier here is the % crit line.
The 10% crit rate will bring you to 100% crit, which means more stable damage AKA you'll consistently cap sooner. However, if you find another source of % crit then the 10% crit line loses value. In this particular case I would recommend the first potential and getting % crit elsewhere. MM card and level 3 links should fill in the gap.

all 3 are useful in both
After. Just trust me lol
Edit: in regards to the whole %attack to %boss comparison there's more to it then just getting 200% boss and now going for %attack. It's about balancing and using proper potential locations for the stats needed. For a main potential 60%boss is essentially perfect. Once you factor in other places to gain %attack.
Never is %boss enough and 200% isn't that high
I would go after just to get 100% crit rate.13% att and 30% boss are almost equivalent to 60% boss, and 7% all stat gets destroyed by 10% crit. also, you won't really have to worry about boss anymore and you can use your heart and emblem to get attack %.
I would suggest to stay with Before. Is it possible to get anymore Crit % on your xenon? Do you have both phantom and BT link skills? Or perhaps get % crit line on your ability? Also are you level 198? I think that's when you get 10% crit from hyper skills. In many cases, 13% attk >>> 30% boss, depending on your stats.
I thought after 200% boss, it doesn't become as helpful as %att would. Therefore after achieving 200%, you should go for %att. I'm going to have to go with, the before potential.
Second. Its common sense really. 3 useful lines > 2 useful lines
After one.
Easy pick.
