Occult skills and Witch Class, need more options

This probably applies to all the Skills, but because I am playing the Witch Class in Path of Exile 2 this is specifically for the Occult skills.

The Occult skills need more options. Right now, a lot of Occult skills are minion skills. They could and should add more minion skills. However, they should work on the magic skills. There are not that many chaos or bone skills to choose from. There are no other types of occult magic skills. I wanted to just focus on magic, but there are not many to choose from. The magic skills that are available are not that visually appealing. Visuals should not be the focus, but they are part of the reason you sometimes want to use a skill in addition to the function. I did not play a full magic character and have minions since there are not enough magic based Occult skills to choose.

I wanted to go and try the blood mage, but there are no blood magic skills.

I understand they wanted to split it up so there would be two types of magic users where before the Path of Exile 1 Witch had both Occult and Elemental magic. Now due to the Witch being Occult skill based although the class can still use any skills I wanted to focus on that type of magic. It has been disappointing playing the Occult skills.

Just hope there will be more Occult skills to choose from in the future.
