HOTA: Why use Thunderstrike (66.7% Proc, 325% Dmg) over Smash (80% Proc, 406% Dmg)?

Thunderstrike has only a 66.7% chance to proc "Into the Fray" and does 325% Weapon Dmg while Smash has a greater proc chance of 80% and does 406% Weapon Dmg.

This means that Thunderstrike returns less fury and does less overall dmg over time.

So you guys are just using Thunderstrike's AOE Stun just to solo MP5 with less defensive gear?

because if thunderstrike hits 2 targets with its much larger aoe, it gets a better proc co-efficient and dps increase
the stun is nice too

Thunderstrike can hit 2 or more targets but can proc once at a 66.7% chance when it crits.

My Fury Flask goes up 2x quicker using Smash as compared to Thunderstrike. If you want to hit multiple targets, you should be using "Rolling Thunder" but it has a proc rate of "0%".

what about rolling thunder ?

i am using that

rolling thunder cant proc any fury regen from "Into the Fray," so it cant sustain itself.

So HOTA only works with Dual-wield or you can use Scorn with 1.4k dps? Or it's all about speed attack per second? Since I have 200k damage, does it's enough to play MP 3-4? I do WW build right now and it's working nice for me, but want to try something better.
