Power Siphon

I was so excited when I learned that Power Siphon is a thing in PoE 2!!

Until I saw exactly what it is.

Power Siphon in it's current iteration is borderline useless. It does abysmal damage, doesn't scale well, and it's not often that you get something in culling range without actually killing it, and when you cull it with power siphon? You gain 1 charge and have a chance to gain a second power charge. A power charge that is more useful for someone beating stuff up with a quarterstaff than for anyone actually casting spells. You hawkeye mobs that might be cullable to get a chance at a charge that mostly buffs skills that you're not using.

I'm bummed about what a legendary ability like power siphon has become. This would be like if elemental hit was a spell that did very little damage, gained on a wand, that consumes a full armour break to give you a an endurance charge and a chance at an additional endurance charge that you can use to buff your infernal cry. Heck, that might be more useful than current power siphon.

I'm still looking forward to trying to use it in some meaningful way, but I still have to say that I'm bummed.
