I asked this same question myself a little while ago. The response from
WOTC customer service was a quick and unqualified "yes."
The response from this board had a bit more "no" to it, as you are seeing. After some inquisition, it seemed that the "no" boiled down to: with strict
RAW, the feat allows Acid Orb to be a melee attack, and the power itself is a basic attack, but it's not a melee basic attack.
My recommendation: if you want to be uber-hard-nosed
RAW, then split this hair and rule "no." Otherwise, go with common sense and fun and
WOTC which say that a melee attack which is also a basic attack is, for all intents and purposes, a melee basic attack. It's certainly not an over-powered, game breaking ruling to make.
