Impale chance is overly abundant, but impale effect isn't

On the 3.25 tree, if I get only the impale effect nodes, I still have to get 70% impale chance, at minimum. You get even more if you go for more impale chance nodes.

Impale related skills usually at least have 40% chance to impale (eg. Double Strike of Impaling), so you already reach 110%.

And if you wanna improve your "impale effect" further with Impale Support gem, you get another 60% chance!

Total 170% chance to impale, without even trying to invest into impale chance, just because I wanted to get the most impale effect. This is without including any impale chance from gear or jewels.

This seems ridiculously wasteful, no? Can we have some of those impale chances changed to impale effect or attack speed or something else useful?

...And all the impale clusters except the 2H specific impale cluster give you exactly 60% Impale chance, making it perfect for certain impale related skills like Double Strike of Impaling. I see this as a positive, so I don't even have to THINK about using the Impale Support, because that gems sucks.

I dunno. Back before pure physical dropped off a cliff I used Impale on non-Impale skills all the time. Double Strike was actually one of my favorite. True melee, True blender.

Adding Impale Effect by merging some nodes would probably help.
It's hard to justify pure phys melee these days even with 100% ignore.
