Mundane would't be very useful in this instance, as it will only scale with your Vigor (or Vitality, if you forgot to add the value you were going to increase Vigor to), since that is the lowest stat you have. As a result, Mundane is better with more equal stats (such as an all thirty build), since every stat is considered the lowest, thus boosting damage greatly.
