Well, they overlooked STR accessories in spite of having that exact same issue like 3-4 patches before. They overlooked Holy upon ARR release when it had 260 potency with no fall-off. I'm more inclined to believe they overlooked the obvious nowadays.

As for how much of a nerf: Even a 5 potency nerf would more than make up for the TCJ increase. You will use one Gust Slash every 6 seconds, which means after 72 seconds, you already made up for that unintended damage increase via TCJ.
