Fire and shaman request, plus side rant

Hello please consider having fire related passive tree points in the shaman tree. I personally don’t understand why shaman has access to cold and lightning but not fire all while having fire able skills such as fire tornado.

Additionally, on the topic of fire tornado in addition to original ask please consider if a player takes the fire tornado node in skill tree to apple the fire conversion to the sub skills. Kind of like how other skills do as such already. Personally for me thematically it is illogical to think of a fire tornado having ice storm bolts( if you made gathering fury cold(or lightning by default) ) and then also having the lightning shock orbs from left center side of the tree.

Also on a build side having a skill do extra stuff is generally a good thing ideally but I have found it always falls flat when the sub skills don’t match the main skill/builds focus. The player can choose to try and split the damage affix’s on gear to make it work with realistic situations gear. With the possibility of effective damage type gearing with unrealistic gear that is not easily attainable. Of which would be ok if the unrealistic gear combined with an odd skill set up creating amazing results. Sadly though in my experience these split builds lose playability once the user switches from goofy fun time to actually trying to make a current content friendly character. And although players have made these builds work out it is either supported by gear a typical player cannot expect to obtain/craft. Or the build creator found a design over site and ran with it to make a build work. Which is fine an all but previous patch habits has show those situations typically last for one season max if the build becomes popular enough for the over site to come onto the devs radar.

P.S. I feel like a fire tornado with lightning bolts and storm orbs is pushing meme territory and if that’s the plan can we get some sharks in those Nados?

P.P.S. I kinda want a sharknado tornado skill mtx with the tornado changing from blue to red on kill . I think that’s could be doable with new blood build up character aura mtx thing in the 70$ supporter pack.
