Combat SW - I should be using Aimed Strike instead of Split in my L2 slot, yes? (and another ?)

R2 is Clear The Ground
L2 I'm going back and forth between Aimed Strike and Split Strike.

I really only use L2 when Flurry is up, so I should be using Aimed right, since it hits harder, and CtG has my AoE covered.

is this logically correct?

*edit* also, how much does the loss of Crit Chance on Skirmisher's Gambit hurt, compared to the increase in Severity? is the trade-off worth it in practice?

    This is the wrong forum but anyways.
    For single target use aimed + clear, for multi target only clear.
    Use aimed strike before procing flurry, that way you can get 2 aimed strikes flurried + 3 clear the ground flurried, so 5 hits for a total of 10 Blade Huracan procs.
    This applies to Combat HR for the new mod, for the old mod, split strike is the hardest hitting melee at will we have.
    The damage of Aimed strike is only applied to the first tick.

    oh yeah definitely, I am only asking about the Melee at-wills, I'm probably not going to use Aimed SHOT too much as Combat. I'm just asking about Aimed STRIKE
