imo you are missing a big point Thunder Wolf Man, that is purple sharpness of the weapons you are comparing. While the Miralis path has a lot of purple, and ever since you don't even need sharpness +1 to get some, I'd rather pick it over the rathalos hammer. Of course, this one makes a lot more raw damages, but what about its ridiculously weak sharpness? It's just that simple, please compare by yourself:

Starsmasher page (rathalos path)

The Anteferno (Miralis path)

Honestly, I'd rather play with a hammer that does not need sharpness +1 so that I can gem in some other skill on my armor. And btw, this hammer is just a lagiacrus/plesioth murderer. But hey, I guess I'm being very subjective right now, but I thought it interesting to offer luri97 another point of view so that he can see the big picture.
