When to use Dark Shock

I don't get it. It has a very high multiplier, I see, but I really just don't see practical places to use it. Maybe I will once I max it, but at the moment, I have level 1 5Blow and level 1 Dark Shock, and find 5blow much better in all circumstances. What's a situation where dark shock is more useful than the other skills?

@toastyc12 You actually slow down your killing speed by doing that as Dark Chain does have a delay time between use.
Ideally it should be used ADC mobs to you, Dark Chain then ADC the other side and use blow to kill those.

Once maxed, the 5 second cooldown makes it a lot more practical with my method of training:

-Buff (If needed)
-Turn left, use ADC (reel mobs)
-Turn Right, Use ADC (reel mobs)
-Tele past the right mobs, turn left, use ADC (reel mobs closer)
-Dark Shock to finish them off

I find using Dark Shock at the end of this little combo to 99% 1hko any mobs at my level, or higher. I believe it is also faster than Using Quint Blow + The Finisher.
