Its not. Its never worth, even with a low cooldown. The reasoning is pretty simple. Her E does minimal damage. Assuming a full lategame build, well, its about 130+0.4*639+0.6*153= 477 damage pre-mitigation. Sounds like a lot, isnt however. Because its physical damage, armor is naturally high, and you dont get any armor pen. Usually, youd be looking at roughly 200 damage effectively, maybe 250. And now the downside, you run out of energy completely, and that regenerates pretty slowly.

So, you just exhausted your entire resource for pitiful damage, and nothing else. Its terrible. The ability is basically worthless.
