Shield Swipe- How often do you use it?

Just delivery of damage.

Rage of Halone takes about 2 seconds after activation till it actually deals any sort of damage.

Shield Swipe is just as fast as Fast Blade on delivering damage but is more than twice as powerful.

Also it IS worth using on a single target in every chance possible.

Consider 12 turns (4 Halone combos).

100 > 200 > 260 > 100 > 200 > 260 > 100 > 200 > 260 > 100 > 200 > 260

2240 potency.

12 turns with Shield Swipe in every second attack.

100 > 200 > 230 > 260 > 100 > 230 > 200 > 260 > 230 > 100 -> 200 > 230

2340 potency.

Shield Swipe once every attack.

100 > 230 > 200 > 230 > 260 > 230 > 100 > 230 > 200 > 230 > 260 > 230

2500 potency.

Don't forget that if you miss anytime during your Halone combo, you'll lose a huge chunk of damage. Shield Swipe can help fill in your damage and it won't ruin your combo if you miss with it.
