I never see people mentioning it or hearing about it getting used.
Its kind of interesting, being a holy chain lightning. And now that the range was buffed, its a bit easier to use compared to earlier where it needed a rune to get 30 yards range.
Im speculating that the shatter rune is the most overal useful one, as it could mean a lot of small explosions going off at once in a crowd of balled up enemies. And with shatter you could then count on each attack doing 175% + 60% weapon damage to a single target, pushing it into the damage range of Slash with 230% damage done
I think he's talking specifically about using it as a ranged generator, not as a main DPS skill (no Golden Scourge or Armor of the Kind Regent), and it actually works reasonably well in that regard.
The Armor of the Kind Regent/Golden Scourge *could* make it viable for more than that... if they fixed the armor so the second Smite could hit the same targets.
Honestly with the items it has I feel like it has more potential than what it currently has becuase of how it is tuned. Make Kind Regent or Scourge (hell make them a set) and the bonus be that smite now deals double damage and now costs 10 wrath. Not a perfect number but just a guess, makes it useful and those items more useful then the maybe someday they are.
Just my 2cents, or just make it a spender all together and tune it accordingly.

If Armor of the Kind Regent caused it to generate Wrath twice; then yeah it could be passable. But it doesn't, so it isn't.
