Wintertide Brand

Now that Crucible won't go core i will miss being able to play Wintertide brand with Profane Bloom. The playstyle of playing Brand and applying Curses with an extra spell is just clunky and not really fun, so i wanted to suggest to maybe add a support gem or Brand Mastery that would allow Wintertide Brand to have an initial hit so it can apply curses.

We lose Brand like they are now with POE 2 from what i gathered from the streams and since Wintertide always had a really niche core following i wanted to atleast "ask".

My ideas would be

1. A support gem (downside it would affect other spells too)
2. Brand Mastery
3. Brand node on a Cluster Jewel.
4. Unique jewel that works like the spark one did "with atleast X Int in radius Winter Tide Brands First Damage can now apply on hit effects"

Most dot builds are able to apply on hit effects with the main spell and since dot spells scale the best with -res its kinda sad that Wintertide Brand suffers from such unlucky design.

I don't think that this would make Wintertide a Meta build but it would be a really really nice quality of life change for the fans of the spell.
