Brute strength

"Brute strength" node on a tree seems super weak. 150 str translates into 10% inc damage, while having a downside. Maybe it is just me, but this node appears to be SUPER underpowered and not worth a point, especially compared to "Pure power" even tho "Pure power" only applies to Lightning.

End game, if you are building for giants blood, you will need 636 strength, so 42% isn't bad for a single node. But that means the node and the 3 leading up to it are pretty much just for 1 build, because 212 only gets 14%, which is pretty terrible for a notable with a down side. I think they would be better off with a better rate, and a cap.

On a side note, strength and reduced mana is also pretty terrible. You can get 8 strength with no downside, so is 4 strength worth 5% mana? With 0 int investment, you will have over 400 mana by end game. So you are trading at least 10 int worth of mana for 4 strength.

Also i believe it has an issues outside of being weak?

Not only does it 1. require a lot to invest and 2. if you path there you sacrifice 25% mana (more if you have titan % minor nodes or jewel that give % nodes)

But also unless im dumb im checking and it doesnt have an annoint recipe despite being a notable?
