It seems weird that mages and archers should get skills that are useful throughout their career without having to cripple their hp, while warriors would wind up having to limit their hp to take full advantage of desperation. Even if it's just put there as a nifty occassional trigger, it isn't going to help very much with mobbing; with the exception of Heroes, whose mobbing skill hits fewer than five enemies, you probably aren't going to need the extra target on any other warrior. Dark impale/Crusher and Charged blow do the job well enough. Plus the effect is too erratic and provides an unreliable damage boost, unlike critical piercing and magic overflow.
I dunno, maybe some people might like it, I don't.
Well, after seeing your logic, I have to say that I actually agree with you now. It's actually rather odd, I'm a Paladin myself, and I didn't even consider how hard it'd be to get within range of Desperation without a skill like Sacrifice. I'll see if I can come up with something more useful.
