QoL change for reworked node 'Renouncement'

My suggestion is very simple. Remove the “directly” tag from the node so it works with everything.

The reworked node for smite with the chance to spawn a void beam is actually a great addition for caster void knight. Sadly its only for active usage of the skill and while you can use it in a purely manually smite cast build many other builds miss out or you have to squeeze a smite in the rotation with the hope that it cast the void beam.

There are many builds that use auto smite : Multistrike, throwing skills , palarus unique, javelin, lunge and so on. All those builds will only benefit from the extra layer of damage.

There is already a limit of 2 beams per 2 seconds so it wont affect anything performance-wise or break the game.

I think that other players will welcome this kind of change.

Yes, players always welcome free extra damage.

That node (& it would help if you specify where it is) is to make direct casts more attractive, since, as you say, there are so many ways to indirectly cast Smite for free, effectively. Not every node has to benefit every build.
