i use arioc's endgame, but it's more proactive & demands more knowledge of the layouts/comps. I find it more fun. eBOTD is way easier my contrast.

In short: because you get more damage with War Pike, and with 20IAS from Andy's you break the 80IAS breakpoint anyway (11~ frames per 2 hits, or 4.55 hits per second)
with BOTD Ghost Spear you get 60% IAS from BOTD, but you need 63 or 105IAS for the next breakpoints.

If you use Andy's, you basically waste 17% IAS with Ghost Spear & lose out on consistent damage.
It's still a fine weapon though, don't get me wrong. If you have an eBOTD Ghost Spear, you WILL DO JUST FINE.

Ghost Spear is only ever better if you have like Treachery on the chest for the 45IAS (going from 60IAS to 105 in one item). But Treachery is garbage unless you're leap locking the council, so don't do that.
And if you use Treachery with Ghost Spear for 105IAS, you might as well use War Pike BOTD (60%) + Andariel's Visage (20%) + Treachery (45%), hitting the 125IAS Breakpoint on War Pike anyway.

I mean it's still very good. Just not as good as War Pike.

Hey - Awesome guide - Thanks for taking the time to write it up!

Have you also tried the WW GF/MF Variant, and if so what are your thoughts regarding it?

I personally made the switch and haven't looked back! It may be a mix of nostalgia and/or fond memories of my old WW barb, but whatever it is, I'm absolutely loving it.

I did, but it's a very different experience. All in all, I think a DPS version MAY be better if we could remake games every 20-30 seconds, but unlikely otherwise :(
