So the thing is that I want the node that gives a chance to cast Mealstrom when you use Thorn Shield, but it’s gated behind the bleed node and I don’t want to play with bleed. And it’s slightly annoying that I have to waste 1 skill point on that node just to “pass through”. I think it would be better if the mealstrom node was connected to the node that boosts the Thorn Burst damage and area. That way, you would benefit from the Mealstrom node regardless of what your build is going for.
I would connect it to the thorn shield duration node or thorn shield armor node or just the thorn burst damage node. It should be connected to the most related node on the tree.
What does bleed have to do with maelstorm builds? Nothing

Well, to be fair, they are connected in a weird way: If you take the physical conversion node on Mealstrom, they both scale with physical damage and damage over time. Still, that doesn’t justify its bad position on the tree.
