On certain weapons, it is an alternative - especially in the void. While it wont be a straight boost in damage like Bane, Hammer Shot's increased status helping proc Corrosive coupled with the increased crit multiplier will let HS out-perform a Bane mod easy.

Of course, this is only for weapons with high innate crit and status, such as Synapse, Grakata, Grinlok, Snipetron, Amprex, Lanka and the bows. Otherwise, you're better off with a bane or element.
