[3.9][HC/SC] Soulrend Trickster - Fast mapper with great defenses (League starter/All content)

I am probably missing something, but what gains us Power/Frenzy charges other than the Swift Killer 15% chance on kill? Does the channeling in Swift Killer get proc'd by our use of Blight in the totem setup?
Loving this build in the flashback league. Not great choices for wands or jewelry yet so I went with what I could find. No issues so far.

We gain Power/Frenzy and Endurance charges with Overcharge. You can use a Intuitive Leap gem (where currently your Spreading Rot is) and you gain access to the Overcharged and Melding nodes.

It's not a must, in my opinion, but it is quite nice to have for mapping.

OK. I see that now. But that basically adds another 8% chance to the 15% from Swift Killer. Which is still a chance on Kill. Great for mapping where you are mowing down lots of groups. But, useless on Boss fights? I'm still learning this game and its mechanics. I was hoping that the Power/Frenzy charge gain on channeling from Swift Killer (in our case that would be Blight) would actually proc off of the use of Blight in our totem setup. Yes/No?

This is just an educated guess...

It should definitely apply if you are channeling Blight yourself.

It probably wouldn't apply if your Blight is on a totem since it's the totem doing the channeling, not the player.

Easy enough to test!

Also, never having used Intuitive Leap, does it pull up all passives in its range, including Notables and Keystones as well as the regular nodes?

It allows you to select notables/keystones within its radius without connecting to them which saves you points.

Test complete. And, it appears to be indeterminate. When you cast the totem with Blight, the totem doesn't start casting/channeling until an enemy is near. Shortly after that the Frenzy and Power charges start appearing, but, the totem is also killing them so my 23% to gain a charge on kill may be what is actually causing the charge gain. Will try on higher level enemies that don't die fast to confirm that it is the killing and not the channeling that is gaining the charges.
