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.
This skill will add a bit of damage to your Aard Sign making it a stronger Sign against groups of enemies. The skill is still effective even if the enemy is lying down on the ground. Also, this skill costs a lot to get just to add 200 damage to your Aard Sign which you can easily deal with using your swords.
If you mainly use the Aard Sign and want the Sign to include damage while using it, then you should get this skill. Having this skill equipped will definitely strengthen the Aard Sign when dealing with large groups of enemies.
