Suggestion for Summon Storm Crows Improvement

In it’s current form (CAO 22 Aug 2021) the ability Summon Storm Crows ability only comes in 2 forms. The base lightning form and a frost variant form from the Frigid Wings node. Although this is an awesome ability as it is it doesn’t harmonize that well with Druids and some Beastmasters.

I would like to suggest that another node be added that lets you change the damage type to Physical. All shock chance can be either converted to slow chance or bleed chance. You can call it Razor Wings to match the Frigid Wings nomenclature.

Additionally, If it does slow chance, then you can add a bleed chance node (Razor Feathers) which can then be further linked to a poison chance node (Venomous Feathers). This set up would be similar to the Ice Thorns skill tree nodes Thaw → Barbed Thorns → Nightshade. It would also be similar to the Entangling Roots nodes Bramble Thorns -->Nightshade.

I would place it in the top left section. The Shredding Beaks node is somewhat pointless since it links to the Feathered Storm node. Which is a superior node for Beastmasters and melee Shamans who stack strength. The Huntsman and Murder of Crows nodes can be unlinked from Shredding Beaks and relinked to Nimbleness or Avis. This would allow players who use Melee lightning or Frost builds to still have access to them without changing the base type.

By having a Physical type conversion node; the Summon Storm Crows ability would fit better with the Physical/Frost/Lightning theme of the Primalist class.

In conclusion, these are all just suggestions. In the end it’s your call. Thank you for your time. It’s a great game as it is. Please keep it up.

P.S. The neither the Entangling Roots nor the Summon Frenzy Totem abilities have have a Crows specific node like it does for the other companion options. Which is kinda sad for my Melee Bleed Beastmaster.
