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.
