Blank - remove potency

Reason: less incentive to utilize it to enhance DPS (healthier gameplay, less frustration)

If this happens, you also need to remove the potency on fluid aura and repelling shot. Why repelling shot, since it doesn't knock enemies back? Because now you've given bard a very slight DPS edge. Fair is fair, after all.

The potency is pretty well returned through the addition of more ammunition (not 1:1 but you also have to factor in the guaranteed proc's that result from the increased ammo)... and it goes without saying that some number balancing may be in order in lieu of adjustments.

If potency were compensated elsewhere, I'd suggest very minor increases spread about MCH's 1-2-3 (slightly more impact for Cleaner Shot, in particular).
