Help me decide weapon for my 2-hand WW barb

BotD Ghostspear

BotD Great Poleaxe

BotD Thundermaul

All eth of course

GS and GPA both hit the last bp and have good damage..

TM will end up with -40 ias and hit the -35 bp and has 40% better dmg

What would you choose?

Any help will be appreciated

more hits = more dmg, so the TM is out. i would suggest the ghost spear, cuz i'm a lance fan myself, but the great poleaxe is good too, more popular even, so it seems.

they're both about the same so measure out the str and dex reqs of each and compare it to the average dmg, see which one has better req to dmg numbers

I'm with Angry on this one, both the elite spear and polearm have a range of 5, so whichever has the most speed on the weapon alone is best IMO... I think that comes to the polearm the spear has moderately less speed. 10 I think.

both the ghost spear and the great poleaxe hit the last ww bp as botd, so either will get just as many hits as the other. However, the great poleaxe requires more str and less dex, so it edges out the ghost spear in dmg. It doesn't really make a difference which you choose because the amount of dmg difference is pretty minimal. Whichever looks better to you.

Great Poleaxe by a mile and a half

It and the Ghost Spear both hit the last whirlwind breakpoint but the poleaxe only requires 70 (in eth botd form) dex which is far less than the ghost spear needs. This means more vitality (survival) and more strength (damage). That and it looks better than some short barely visible fork.
