Bringing this thread back from the dead to ask a question: When checking to equip a new weapon should I look for the weapon that gives me the best Total Melee Attack even if it drops my Melee Attack stat?

While I'm at it, what the hell does the Potential stat do?

Potential is the most important thing in the game. I'm not even sure how it works, but if you raise as much as you can, your attacks are going to be more lethal. 

I believe it is one if the things that used to be part of the Agility stat.  Iirc, it increases critical hit probability and your ability to hit enemies higher level than you.  For those who didn't know, in the original Agility was way OP since it effected your ability to dodge, land hits, land hits on enemies than higher than you, and the crit chance.  As well as other things iirc.
