which botd best for baba

i want 2 hand
tundermaul ? warpike? greatpolea? ghost spear? or cb?

i hear that warpike make wide range than maul??

how about ias which better ?

need ur opinion
 
What build?

In general, the GPA is the best 2-hander for a whirlwind barb, while a CB would be the best 2-hander for a normal swing-style barb, as it's quick and you can alternate to a shield. T-mauls can be nice for massive damage on short whirlers, but they, along with war pikes, are generally too slow to be used to great effect on normal swing builds.

Thank you for clearing this up. I once had a long thread arguing between ebotd ghost spear and gpa. Most people liked ghost over gpa but this was really dumb to me. They both have same avg dmg, same speed, but the dex reqs for ghost spear are HUGE. They whine and cry about attack rating but dex barely gives any attack rating as far as i can tell. And we're talking about a huge decrease in vitality due to high dex reqs.
 
You would not believe how long this thread I was talking about was. I believe it got to 3 pages and still people would go with ghost over gpa, it was AMAZING. Even with my point to point arguments for gpa I didn't get through to people. Well, at least we have Hal to point us in the right direction.
 
gpa is best without a doubt, has same dmg as ghost spear, same speed, same range but 1 advantage, has a lot lower dex req than ghost spear (70 with botd in it) & u can get 70 with angelic ring + arreat + perf stat anni & rest of equip can be socketed with ed/str or whatever u like

best 2h weapons for barb are imo the one's that dont need any dex -> eth botd gpa :)

now for the correct stats :
415% eth gpa -> avg of 666 (lovely number, i know :p)
415% eth gp -> avg of 666
415% eth tmaul -> avg of 821 but only range 3 (gpa = 6) & 6fpa ww (gpa = 4)
415% eth wpike -> avg of 813 range 6 & 6fpa ww

imo its pretty clear what weapon to choose if u know about the lower dexreqs on gpa :)
 
gpa is range 5, you have it listed as range 6 when comparing it to tmaul. As I'm sure you know, there is no range 6. I expect it was a typo.
