So I was curios, the WRH already has max damage out the gate right? So it would make more sense to give it pure attack speed bonuses correct?
WRH: Skolvar or Vog?

Ok, hmm, well that gives me
Ok, hmm, well that gives me more to think about then.
It sounds like speed is still the way to go, I plan on using WRH for Lockdown, but I think that speed bonus would be really solid, I will do some testing before I come to a solid answer.
Thanks!

No, it does not have "max damage". Do you mean that the statistic bar that is displayed shows that its elemental damage is "full"? For one thing, those statistics bars are not reliable. In some cases (Divine Avenger vs. Gran Faust speed) they are outright wrong.
Damage bonuses are exactly that --- bonuses, that increase the weapon's damage beyond its basic level. Every weapon in the game does more damage when you give it damage bonuses. Also, every weapon in the game works faster when you give it attack speed increases or charge time reductions. To learn about such bonuses, read the wiki page Abilities.
Regarding the Skolver vs. Vog Cub question: This is a frequently asked question. You might try searching Google for something like "spiral knights forum skolver vog". You will find many, many threads. My own answer can be found in the armor section of my detailed sword guide.
Regarding WRH specifically: Both ASI and damage bonus are useful. You get maximum damage-per-second out of this weapon by shield-cancelling after the second hit. The resulting attack pattern --- swing, dash, swing, dash --- is very fast. If you get a lot of ASI (say, +5 or +6), then you may find that you have trouble clicking fast enough to keep up with the weapon. So my recommendation is to go for blanket damage bonus (Skolver) first. But ASI is good too, and Vog Cub has better defense. You really can't go wrong.

I am aware of how many
I am aware of how many threads there are on this, my question was specifically for this wep.
I will end up giving both a try, but I am going with Vog for now, think the speed will lead to overall better dps. Will probably snag damage trinkets then.

Yeah if you get vog, a barb
Yeah if you get vog, a barb thorn shield and two elite sword damage trinks you're gonna have max damage and very high asi anyway. After that if you have the funds you can try to roll an ASI medium UV on your hammer to get max speed as well, or use the ASI medium perk on your battle sprite once you get it.

¿Por que no los dos?
If LD, wait a short while until devs confirm whether perks in LD are a bug or not. If they aren't, go with both. You can reach VH+Max if you get appropriate perks. You can additionally get ASI through UVs.

People take skolver because
People take skolver because you can get ASI uv's while universal damage bonuses aren't as available as uvs.
The damage bar is visually capped but actually damage and armour can go past the "maximum".
Damage modifiers from gear like skolver multiply your base damage (shown on the weapon bar). Say you do 400 damage with rocket hammer normally. With skolver's damage medium you will do 415. Damage bonus multiplies on a 6 point scale from "low" to "maximum". Search for abilities on the wiki.page.
Attack speed is still good to have with the hammer though, as it makes it safer and more fun to use.
