Is Intimidation Worth It?

Good for Crowd Control

You can pacify someone lower level with you with Intimidation. You can force them to surrender or incite them to attack at higher ranks, which is great for causing chaos and easing the battle.

Note that the Intimidation effect is not guaranteed and will wear off if you wander too far from the enemy. You can increase the success rate of Intimidation if you have the Lady Killer / Black Widow active.
