Is ancestral bond worth it on ballistas

I’m currently starter testing for 3.27 so I’ve got a framework for archetypes and how to build them when patches come out. I’m testing out kinetic fusillade ballistas and I’m having issues with the pathing . My main issue with the pathing is it just feels like there is a lot of travel nodes and essentially wasted points . Now my main idea is that because I’m running scion I can Dow his pets stuff with mana stacking and then the pathing is actually solid . But for a legaue start we already start with 3 base ballistas and can get an additional 1-2 from the right side of the tree so assuming j only get one ancestral bond is a 25% damage boost but is that good enough for the points required to get it ?
