I’m liking the changes done to Gavel of Ravenous Souls (especially the FX change to Siphon Souls). The only additions I’d like to see to it now is skill modifier support for Storm Totem to make the +2 already present on there worth considering the Shaman side for.
100% Lightning damage converted to Physical damage to Storm Totem is an idea, though right now you can also use global conversions like Gladiator’s Distinction and the transmuter to achieve the same effect so it’s not a major problem due to it being a pet swap.
The second thing is damage. Physical Totemists are going to have a hard time amassing skill bonuses between +2 on the weapon/groble off hand (or 2nd DW Gavel) and various +1 to Shaman skill bonuses. compared to Vitality/Lightning builds that can easily get 24-26/16 and also get increased damage modifiers through Valguur/Light’s Defender. Thus, I’d like to see a modifier for x Physical damage to Storm Totem as well. Doesn’t have to be too big, I’d estimate between 15-30 Physical damage would be good enough.
