Despite what sounds like high potential, AD is not highly-valued by players. It underperforms due to bugs[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/area-damage-bugged-and-underperforming], and also due to the proc rate being less than 100%. Furthermore, it is of no use against single targets such as [[Guardians]], which many [[buiilds]] find the most challenging.
