[Question] Atomic Hammer v. Rocket Punch

Atomic Hammer(with Metal Fist Mastery): 480% Damage, 60% chance of 3 second stun, ignores 30% of the mobs defense. 6 mobs.
Rocket Punch: 560% Damage, 100% chance of 3 second stun. 6 mobs.

Atomic Hammer (seems) to be faster.

Atomic Hammer has less horizontal range, but more vertical range, and can hit a small amount behind you.
Rocket Punch has a larger horizontal range, but a lesser vertical range and can't hit behind you.

So my question is, is Rocket Punch really better?

Does the extra 80% damage really make up for it's (seemingly) slower speed and lack of ignoring 30% of the mobs defense?

i play mechanic in kms and i spam rocket punch, hammer is blehhh makes monsters jump and range isnt that good, also rocket punch has some sweet sweet range+almost 100% stun rate

Rocket Punch or drill or w/e it's called is far better for training. I spam it with occasional Hammers to clean up mobs that I don't want to throw myself into.

Rocket Punch =/= Drill Rush.

I mob with Screw Punch, Flame quickly, Hammer, then Punch the rest. Works well for me.

Screw Punch? You mean Drill Rush?
