Unintuitive gameplay for ritualist

Hey guys. It is fun to play spear bleed build being the ritualist. But you WANT to play with herald of blood.... But herald of blood completely render one ascendency point obsolete... As the whisper ask is now totaly useless since the herald destroys the bodies...

This is kinda counter intuitive to want to have a aoe bleed explosion, but you now cant use the sacrifice node.
