Giant’s Blood + Lord of the Wilds Synergy – Let Giant Shamans Wield Talisman + Unique Scepter!

Hi GGG team,
I wanted to share an idea for a really cool synergy between two keystones that currently don’t interact at all.
Idea: Double Keystone Synergy – “Giant Talisman Bearer”
Right now:

Giant’s Blood lets you wield a 2H axe/mace/sword in one hand (with triple attribute requirements).
Lord of the Wilds lets you equip a non-unique scepter in the off-hand together with a talisman, but comes with heavy penalties (50% less Spirit from the scepter + reservation penalty).

Suggestion:
If a player has both Giant’s Blood and Lord of the Wilds allocated, the following happens:
You can hold a Talisman in one hand and any Scepter (including uniques) in the other hand.
At the same time, Lord of the Wilds loses all its penalties:

No more restriction to non-unique scepters
No Spirit reduction from the scepter
No reservation efficiency penalty on non-minion skills

Instead, the whole setup would inherit the Giant’s Blood style drawback – triple attribute requirements on the scepter + talisman.

Right now with just Giant’s Blood we can already use a scepter in the off-hand for two-hand weapon builds. It would feel very natural and consistent if we could do the same thing with a Talisman when both keystones are taken. It would really complete the fantasy of a giant shaman wielding massive power in both hands.
This would create a powerful and thematic identity for Druid/Shaman players and open up exciting new build possibilities, especially for hybrid and minion-focused playstyles.
What do you think? Would something like this ever be considered?
Thanks for reading and keep up the great work!

And also 50% less HP....

In all seriousness tho, they would have to really look at all the while shapeshifted nodes and nerf them if the node is taken as well. It would be broken if you could do what you are suggesting.

Warrior already gets hit hard from that node on top of the other penalties.
