some people like 4 socket maiden spear +3 for the lower requirements but that pigeon holes you out of a decent physical attack option

bravata is correct. infinity is the rw they are using. matri spear is fastest class weapon. mancatcher is even faster but idk enough about attack speed breakpoints to know if it’s more DPS or not (due to the +skills bonus of matri spear). not sure if anyone has done the math to compare but matri spear is likely the sought-out one.

lol yeah they can reach 100 - 1000 base damage and very fast attack rating with 3 x 40/15s

If you are talking about spearzon using infinity spears then there is 2 popular choice.
Mancatcher -20 weapon speed. With this base, your amazon gear setup will only need 70 IAS so you can reach 9 FPA. this is more flexible in terms of having more choices for gear for example using an enigma instead of the traditional 160/45 IAS armor. You have also more flexibility for Mercs and you will not be restrain to use a Faith bow act 1 merc for the fanatic aura to reach 9 FPA.

Matriarchal spear weapon speed 0. with this base you get additional +3 jav skills. but weapon speed slower compare to mancatcher and so your gear wise you need to reach 125 IAS in order to reach 9 FPA. if you have difficulty reaching 125 IAS then you will need to use an Act 1 Faith merc for the fantic aura. For example you will need 40 IAS on your gear and at least a level 13 fanatic aura faith on your merc to reach 9 FPA.

All IAS FPA calculation can be done using this link Diablo 2 Attack Speed Calculator | ias calc (d2.lc)

i find that mancatcher is required for uber killing and everything else the matrispear is best as you dont really need the 9 fpa.

But also keep in mind, you can swap your Mancatcher between you and your merc so that’s kinda a huge deal.
