That really doesn't make sense. Potential doesn't make any particular classes better, it just makes the gap between good and bad equips bigger.
An clean equipped Corsair is still gonna take down a neutral boss faster than a nearly perfect FP. It's just how MS is. 200-300% gaps between class damage can't be made up for by equipment, since there is about a 150% limit on the amount of stat buffs you can collect. The godly level 200s used to have ranges a little less than twice mine (50 levels plus a lot of w.atk), now I've seen upwards of 4-5 times my range (I have potential gear, but nothing unique).
