Especially in the case of skeles, if I 3 hit skeles with AS, that takes 15 seconds to kill 6 skeles. With torp, it would take half that time easy. And it's not a long attack that leaves you vulnerable.
That would be assuming you stand in one place and do nothing in between Air Strikes. It actually only takes about 7-8 seconds to kill 6 Skeles, which is about what you can ask for with Cannon except you save time because you're not doing any climbing up and down ropes. Torpedo is certainly a better skill and should be prioritized over Air Strike in your build but Air Strike is definitely an integral training skill as well.
At Skeles it sees less usage with a magician killing the top 3 platforms, but since Restoring Memory with a Bishop is still faster than any TT map, Time Temple is mostly going to be the prime location for non-mage classes, so I think Air Strike will be more useful there. Right now I use Air Strike a lot less when training with a Bishop than I do when soloing, and a lot less than when I split the map top/bottom with a non-mage and a priest.
