I seriously doubt they nerfed auto-attack into the ground just to spite a single potential class/acension combo that wasn't even in game yet.
Outstanding info as usual Sig, but I've found in CD that reforging abil mod into potency will net much better results. Every other stat doesn't convert well but abil mod gives nice numbers.
Not any more. They fixed the bug that allowed that. Now you get the normal tiny amount of Potency via reforging any stat.
Nah.. they don't pay enough attention to how healing actually works to go that far out of their way to mess up a single build for a single class of healers
