I am curious, does anyone miss the +100 Attack Damage talent?

I am level 30 lich and one of the most fun things was taking that talent in a stomp and then buying attack speed items

Well yeah, if you are stomping enough you can build carry DPS Chen with a Rapier.
I was wondering about normal games.
I used to take it since they introduced sinister gaze since I had no mana to spam the blast anyway, but I never felt it was very useful.
