get if if you have extra sp

its nice for drawing mobs to you and its good for killing mobs when the mob has only a little bit of health left so you don't have to waste mp on a full nuke blast

but its not that useful in pvp either

and if your full str knock yourself out using it cause you'll be hitting 50s lol (unless you wanna confuse ppl in pvp)

Yeah helps alot in grinding, Gathers mobs or finshes them, IMO its good way to grind by finding a mob u can kill in 1 shout and a nuke.

Best skill nukers have imo. I've seen videos where consecutive shouts sort of stun the opponent. It's probably some weird coding error but it does it.

I actually find it very usefull. And even in pvp. I use My 2 strongest in a row at the start of battle to get there health low enough, but not to low to activate there auto pots, Then i use my strongest nuke and use shouts again=) Success 70% of the time on Same lvl. Higher lvls are kinda pointless though.

it's great for pvp. but a waste of mp pots when grinding. weapon skills are stronger (but not as fast). so my shouts are usually lagging 6 to 10 levels behind my nukes.

this is only the case when you are using imbue or you're hybrid

sometimes if you are using a lower lvl imbue to save mp pots during grind, the imbue might run out before you do your second move after the nuke, lion shout is great for finishing without imbue. Not to mention its really short cast time , making it really fast at finishing the mob before it hits you

i never deliberately shout without imbue. unless the mob is a very low level mob that is harassing me during trade runs.

with sword, lvl 1 soul cut is wayyyyyy cheaper as a finisher.
with spear, lvl 1 ghost spear is wayyyyy cheaper and stronger than a shout.

shout is no doubt faster.

i'd use either one that fits my grinding pace.

for pvp. its nukes and shouts for me till target within melee distance for KDs stuns or KBs.
