Expert level of Sorrow is quite useful against [[wandering creature]]s at least in situations where it is essential that they do not receive an extra turn due to their +1 morale.

Depending on the enemy morale, it will either reduce the chance (or eliminate) of enemy troops getting the extra turn or increase the chance of them to lose a turn. As the chances for bad morale are higher, the latter it is more favourable option. In other words, reducing enemy morale to -3 is better than reducing it to +1.
