In my personal build, I also use other seemingly useless skills in a similar way: "Ashes' Blessing," "Exploding Corpses," and so on.
ForRest Fay, that's an interesting idea! I've long noticed that there are conditionally useless perks and skills in the game. And if you replace them, the game will become more interesting. If possible, please share your personal build in this thread. I'm sure many will like it.
