Blood Boil Suggestion

I really like the theming and overall execution of this ascendancy skill (save for the seeming incompatibility with Herald of Blood), and would like to propose a small tweak that could give it more utility with some lateral thinking.

Currently, Blood Boils don't actually do anything to the creatures accumulating them - it's only on death that the boils trigger and spread Corrupted Blood. Seeing that the boils don't themselves inflict any debuffs or damage, why not allow them to accumulate on allies/companions/minions?

This change would allow Blood Boil to actually have some utility against bosses who don't have adds. Wanna dip into Occult skills and spec some Int into your build? Sacrifice your boil-infested skellies for Corrupted Blood procs on bosses. At minimum, you get a nice Corrupted Blood proc each time the boss inevitably kills your Tamed Beast.

To me, this would be a useful buff to the skill that would also fit the vibe of forbidden/taboo nature magic.
