Thank you very much! This answer is pretty clear and simple.

If it works like that. It's not the best one I should get. MW and potential both have similar effect, decent but not great. However multiplicative on final stats will be much better, which is not the case.

Since both MW and pot don't apply multiplicative on your total stats, they don't have a big difference.
How MW and pot have similar effect:
For an real instant,
Consider if i have +230% int, 3.4/3.3, only 3.03% more int than the total int before. It's about 90 base int at 3.3x int. There are also boost in luk since luk from equips and skills are counted. The boost will be 0.1*(base+others), which is usually about 200.
However if it works like MW, 10% base stats is about 100 int, which is 100 base int at 3.3x int. 10 base int=33 int=132 luk.
Therefore, in the pot case, has 17 more Net int, which is not so helpful. With 3.3x int, 17 int is only 5 base int.
General trend(for MW disabled):
We know that stats value for jobs except Xenon is S=main*4+secondary, where main=p1*(base1+others1), secondary=p2*(base2+others2).
If it works like MW, after: S=4*p1*(1.1*base1+others1)+p2*(1.1*base2+others2), since base2=4, p2 is also<2, therefore secondary doesn't change, the only changes happens at main.
ΔS=ΔMain=4*p1*(1.1*base1+others1)-4*p1*(base1+others1)=4*p1*(1.1*base1+others1-base1-others1)=4*p1*(0.1*base1)=0.4*p1*base1
If it works like pot, after: S=4*(p1+0.1)*(base1+others1)+(p2+0.1)*(base2+others2)
ΔS=4*(p1+0.1)*(base1+others1)+(p2+0.1)*(base2+others2)-4*p1*(base1+others1)-p2*(base2+others2)=4*(base1+others1)*(p1+0.1-p1)+(base2+others2)*(p2+0.1-p2)=0.4*(base1+others1)+0.1*(base2+others2)
Now if you set some constant and variables you can draw a graph. You'll find that they're similar most of the time.
Thanks.
