    400 would make it virtually just as good as the melee combo (the 1-2-3 combo avg's 410 potency per 2.2s) so I suppose it's still a loss once you factor in Holy/Flare and Scorch, but it still seems like too much given how little Mana you're spending.
    If someone could math it out over the course of a fight, or maybe over 2/3 minutes, to see if just spamming Enchanted Reprise a couple times every third and fourth GCD between spell combos turned out better than touching the 1-2-3 combo, I wouldn't be surprised if 400 put it in the lead.

    It's not meant to be a part of your rotation, it's a gauge spender to be used sporadically for when you need to bring your Mana down to prevent capping.
    I did a brief napkin math of it and the normal combo assuming no manification, no accelleration, no oGCD, and zero procs starting from 0/0 ended up with ~153 potency per second after Scorch with 10/24 (iirc) mana remaining. A rotation which skipped the melee combo entirely, opting to use Enchanted Reprise after every Verthunder/Aero spell as many times as it was possible to use it, also no manification, accelleration or oGCD but assuming 100% proc chance resulted in ~136 potency per second after the same number of GCD with 1/1 mana left.

    I.e. the best case scenario with 400 potency Enchanted Reprise spam was still worse than the worst case normal rotation.

    That said, I don't think Enchanted Reprise needs a potency boost from it's current value. Particularly not such a large boost.
