Question about Hammerdin HOTO

Currently using Wiz Spike (please dont

Bash)

Have the ability to create HOTO, but question is everthing I see is people using 4 soc

Flail, I have 4 soc grand scep.

Will it work? No? Why not? Advantages/Disadvantages? Why the

Flail?

Usually people use a

Flail for its low requirements as described here: Heart of the Oak

Edit: only flails or staves can be used - click 'maces' on that runeword's page and it'll show all the eligible bases to use.
