I think Landfall needs a small buff

I think bottom tree stormcaller's perk Landfall needs a small buff, and I am referring to PVP here, but it could use it for PVE too, for what it's worth. Here is a showcase of a perfect bait against a Spectral Blades super. The opponent casts Spectral Blades, so I run, jump and float up, the Spectral Blades pursues, I cast Landfall for nearly max damage (96 damage) as the enemy is basically touching me, the Spectral Blades gets one hit against me and thinks it's over and disengages momentarily, yet has time to realize their mistake, fall down, turn around, jump back up, and hit me again before my lightning can finish the job. That strikes me as a rather troubling imbalance, and Bungie should look into adjusting it. My suggestion is that bottom tree Stormtrance needs to deal more damage on Landfall cast to allow for quicker cleanup (currently even versus normal guardians Landfall will not KO guardians outside of 3 meters which seems extremely bad for an on-cast-only super perk that takes an entire tree node by itself), or deal more or faster lightning damage due to the lack of mobility and very short range and low chaining range, or have a faster cast animation, or some combination of these things, or perhaps some additional armor as well to compensate for the lack of mobility. I do not think a mobility increase would be appropriate due to the overall theme of the subclass as it focuses on strong support, defense, and counters aggression. It's just that Landfall and the lightning of the super are not doing well versus other supers in that category as they should, and the super does not function well for anything other than a surprise counterattack even versus normal guardians as it is too slow and short range. Personally, I think Landfall should deal as much AoE and damage as a Fist of Havok slam which is currently much larger and more powerful than Landfall, yet functions as a faster roaming super while not consuming an entire subclass tree perk node by itself. This single change would make Landfall worth the perk node it occupies without making it overly strong. The short range and low mobility of bottom Stormtrance necessitates this change because it would create enough AoE to deal strong Landfall damage without the exceedingly high risk it currently requires to use it. Bottom Stormtrance would still lack the mobility and repeated AoE damage that Fist of Havok possesses, meaning it would not be anywhere near the threat level as an aggressive roaming super, therefore it would retain the role of a counter-super, yet with marginally improved ease of use for the Landfall perk. Another other option is that Spectral Blades needs another nerf :p Thanks for your time.
