The game uses all ias on gear now since a patch a while ago so you actually can hit 4fpa with 89 ias assuming you’re not decrep or HF

if you are going to use grief, at least use a zweihander base or a phase blade(much easier to hit ias breakpoint).
sell your colossus sword or avoid chaos sanctuary or places with decrepify/chill/holyfreeze.
you will need at least 50 ias from gear for 7FPA. 95 from GEAR just to hit 6 FPA. this is with slowest ias rolled grief in colossus sword at 30ias / each.

7FPA is slow AF. 6FPA everyone still says it's fine.

Whirlwind Hit Checks

4 FPA = 6.25 attacks per second per weapon = 12.50 attacks per second if dual wield
5 FPA = 5.20 attacks per second per weapon = 10.40 attacks per second if dual wield
6 FPA = 4.50 attacks per second per weapon = 9.00 attacks per second if dual wield
7 FPA = 4.00 attacks per second per weapon = 8.00 attacks per second if dual wield
8 FPA = 3.625 attacks per second per weapon = 7.25 attacks per second if dual wield

Are your numbers IF decrep or chilled?


In normal situations he can hit 4FPA with colossus sword

I appreciate you doing that. I'm just really stupid man and I've tried to understand how all that works, but I just can't. So it seems you can't hit the 4fpa without slotting a 15 ias jewel then correct?
20 gloves
20 amy
40 grief

still missing 9ias from somewhere

or something like Nosferatu's Coil with it's 10ias would work without the jewel or no to that too?


use horazon gloves+boots, you get 30 ias, a ton of dex, a nice bit of ar, some str, cannot be frozen, 20-30 magic dmg resistance, and a bit of fire dmg theyre so nice for melee chars. not having to use raven means u dont have cold dmg that messes with horking.
