Why would you ever use spooky armor over tiki?
Title. As your main armor. Tiki armor gives more overall damage with the extra minion than spooky armor does with its bonus 18% extra damage, tiki armor also has more defense as well making it just straight up better, even though Spooky armor is supposed to be the next tier of armor?

Why not use both? You can equip the Spooky armor, spawn all the minions you can (With the better DPS) Than switch to Tiki and spawn in another (With Tiki Stats).

Yeah, but that'll probably be patched at some point. If not then thats fine, but I'm assuming your not abusing a bug with my question up there, if you know what I mean.

It's not a bug, the devs have acknowledged it.

After all this time... why have I not known this sooner?

The damage output of a full set of minions will depend on not just your armor set, but also how much +% Minion damage you have and how many minions you can get. See http://terraria.gamepedia.com/Minion#Tips

With +2 Minions above the armor set (can be achieved with Pygmy Necklace + Necromantic Scroll) you'll need close to +50% Minion damage for Tiki Armor to outdamage Spooky Armor. If you then add a Papyrus Scarab to that mix, you'll need even more damage to make Tiki outperform Spooky.

Switching armors after summoning the max with a damage + minion mix for Spooky will of course grant even higher damage.
