If you really need the silence, save it for that; otherwise use it on CD unless it'd delay a more important CD. It's free damage.
I get that it's free damage. But it's only 80 potency. Look at other melee DPS oGCDs.
Spineshatter Dive/Jump/Mirage Dive/Forbidden Chakra/Elixir Field/ etc. 80 potency is crap. Why not make it 150 potency or 210 potency etc. 80 is just...why?
