My Bonestorm/Reap Blood Mage starter for PoE 2 - A DAY TO DAY JOURNEY TO MAKE BLOOD MAGE GREAT

Im curious of your experiencing the same issue or if its isolated to me. Smaller enemies (the baby spiders, small vultures, small beetles etc) all cant be damaged with bone storm for me unless I actively target one of them (name lock) then it hits any of those types of enemies but none of the standard enemies and vice versa. It also shows the bonestorm animation firing at a weird angle down into the ground. Is this unique to me or do you guys also experience it?

Yup, sadly just a quirk of the skill right now. I really hope they change it as well, but in the mean time I recommend also having Bone Cage to hit them more consistently.

Thoughts on supports for bone cage for this purpose?

Lockdown + Spell Cascade + Bludgeon is what I use, but if you don't care for the utility of Lockdown and Bludgeon I think other good options could include Leverage, Considered Casting, or Spell Echo.
Any chance you can post an updated passive tree? Thanks!
Is there a discord where we can share findings about this? I just ditched the focus for a shield and its upped my survivability massively in cruel act 2. Was struggling to stay alive but now im super tanky and bonestorm is shredding with the tweaks i made.
I have no idea how to get Bonestorm to not take 3-5 business days to get to a useful charge for the damage and clear I want. Yeah I can get cast speed up or w/e but that takes way too much investment given how slow it starts out as. Is there a better way? I want to like bonestorm but the charge time is really off-putting for me.
Profusion works, but it works only if you insert it into the aura
Has anyone tested Ghostwrithe Tattered Robe with Crimson power? By the wording technically it's supposed to work but probably not because the life is just converted right?

With the divided cost between life and mana, it kind of feels like we'd want to go Eldritch battery with es/armour items and mana/es on block, though feels like it will be a bit point investment so dps might be low.

Edit: Hype for bloodmage, hopefully we get reap soon =)
