I'm also playing a variation of this skill and I found out that if you use bonestorm with a power charge and then do the evade cast cancel it doesn't consume the charge and just shoots a normal bonestorm that is blue.
I'm not sure if we like this interaction so I will report it as a bug and see if its intended.

Would you mind giving more information about this? It sounds really good, I'd like to hear more and try that myself.

Get Power Siphon to collect a power charge and just charge the spell and "cast" it with the evade.

Sadly it has no damage benefit since the Storm doesnt actually get empowered if you cancel it with evade but at least it saves the charge if you have to dodge something while channeling.

So what are you using to consume the Shrapnel? Using an attack to consume this seems like a critical component of this skill.

Minions should be the easiest for now to trigger it

They really need a spammable physical spell cause mobbing with bonestorm feels wack. Better yet, a physical spell that uses actual blood and not bones.

I've been running something similar to this, I kinda fixed my clear using profane ritual with unleash to generate power charges, made a huge difference.
Since we can't find reap staff I've been running wand/sceptre for the extra spirit and using skeleton warriors to just block choke-points for me.

Generally, feels alright, but praying we see reap staff added soon(?).

How early did you get reap?

Idk if its just on my end but the Link u have for your talents tree doesnt seem to be working or atleast it wont let me zoom in so i cant see anything on the tree D: so far enjoying what u made dmg feels a bit low but ive heard everyone havin that issue

Sadly, I still don't have Reap, and no one has it at this point i believe, the base item that grants the skill (Reaping Staff) is either insanely rare, or it's a disabled drop.

Lets just say it's the One Piece.

I already updated the post a little bit, with a bit of my actual gear and thoughs behind progression. I hope you find it useful.
