soul driver. will it be worth it?

So i was looking at soul driver today and was thinking wether or not if its worth it.
It is clear the skill was not made to be a bossing mechanism due to its slow nature.

It might be worth having for mobbing purposes, so lets think \"collective\" damage alright?.

With a good swing using intrepid slash i can dish out about 150k to 3 monsters, thats 450k of collective damage. If i feel like stunning them first, we add 20% (90k) more dmg, putting us at a total of 540k damage.

Now, lets pretend i had the ungodly amount of patience to get soul driver to lvl 14 ( lvl 14 soul driver has the same damage % as max shout wich is 220%)

On average, my shout can do about 50k points of damage.

Soul driver hits 4 times so lets do some math. 50k x 4 = 200k

Soul driver targets 7 monsters at lvl 14. so lets do some more math. 200k x 7 = 1400k
I feel like stunning them again so lets add 20% 1400k divided by 5 = 280k

We total in at 1680k in collective points of damage.
The biggest factor here now is the time it takes to use the skills.
It is true that in the time it takes to do sould driver once, I could perform 2 intrepid slashes. But if I want to stun the monsters for maximum efficiency, this means I would have to do the following....

magnet + Intrepid + magnet + Intrepid which is longer compared to magnet + sould driver
540k + 540k = 1040k 1640k

Of course... not alot of monsters have an enormous amount of hp, also, you need be NEXT to 7 monsters for all the numbers to add up, so maybe you\'d use this tactic only once and continue I-slash untill they die.

In conclusion, soul driver seems to be a good mobbing skill only when surrounded by alot of enemies. And hey! It even fills up orbs!
If anything, at least soul driver will replace shout? Idk, in my opinion, soul driver doesn\'t really look like a warrior skill... more like a mage skill >.>

But whatever, my obligation as a lvl 150+ to show you guys the statistics of a skill is done for now. Now share your opinion! >:T
