Druid Transformations and companion abilities

Companions are a core component of all of the primalist masteries and are prevalent throughout them. One of the primary functions of a companion is their unique ability you can activate.

I think the transformations of the druid need better ways if using those abilities. I understand the devs not wanting people to stay permanently transformed and encourage switching back and forth, but for those who want to stay transformed, there is a limited number of ways to activate companion abilities.

Maybe allow the player to replace a transformation ability with the companion abilities, allowing players who dont want to switch back to human form a way of easily activating their companion abilities, this could also make it easier to resummon a companion should they die and you cant revive them without the need to detransform, resummon, and transform again.

I complained about this plenty of times and others did as well but sadly the devs came up with the passive shapeshift trees as they are now and called it a day. Given that there are a ton of construction sites all over the game I would be suprised to get a substential Druid update in the next year or two.

This is true only for Spriggan Form
Werebear has access to Swipe
Swarmblade has a node that makes Dive cast the Companion Skill

yes im aware but its only accessible as a passive proc, im asking for a way to directly use it, ive played tons of swarmblade and it doesnt feel enjoyable to play when the only way to cast my companion ability is through my movement skill, which i tend to save for dodging attacks
