We recommend investing into this ability if it works with the build you are running. Although this skill will not be quite as useful as some of the other skills, it certainly has its uses, and it certainly will not hurt to have. While it may seem a bit niche, you can invest into this skill if you have already built your more important skills, and have extra points to spend.
Getting this skill will allow you to deal a significant amount of damage against any enemy if they give a large enough opening to attack. While this skill deals a significant amount of damage the value is lessened since it takes quite a bit of investment to get and is primarily for heavy attack builds.
If your build focuses on using heavy attacks, then you should get this skill. Otherwise, this skill will not help you much since it relies on a heavy attack based build to be at its max potential.
