Thunderstroke is a unique Matriarchal Javelin exclusive to the Amazon in Diablo II.
Whearas Titan's Revenge gives a more consistent boost to all Javelin and Spear Skills, Thunderstroke is often used by Javazons to defeat bosses quickly using Charged Strike and against other people in player versus player due to the increased lightning damage and the reduction to the target's lightning resistance. In these situations, Thunderstroke performs a lot better than Titan's Revenge.
Thunderstroke is not a general-purpose weapon for player versus monster if Lightning Fury is typically used. The stack size is quite small and lacks a self-replenishment modifier, which forces the player to frequently go back to town to repair their weapon. Thunderstroke also offers far fewer bonuses than Titan's Revenge, making Thunderstoke a niche-oriented weapon for boss kills as far as player versus monster is concerned.
The +3 to Lightning Bolt is often overlooked as only hard points contribute to synergies. It can have use however, as Lightning Bolt is a piercing effect.
