Currently this does a full round action of : attack at 2x damage +1/5 vs mob 2x armor.
Imho it benefits only very low skill non-shield feat characters, as it monopolizes the entire attack. With a 2 + main-hand weapon attacks per round, using only one attack and costing stamina is a questionable use at higher levels. I've had it on a shield for a very long time and I never employ it now as it requires a fair bit of luck (successful hit, high dmg roll, low mob Dr roll) and uses he entire round of attacks.
With the new shield changes, I propose it be changed to a battery driven, activated mechanism with a duration similar to the elemental consumable choices. This way, all the shield feats can employ it and it remains competitive vs elemental effects (blazing, electrified) of the same slot, as a physical dmg option.
