I did some ghetto testing on bnet with phase blade + berserk on a barb

According to current calculators a 40 ias grief pb + any source of ias gives you max attack speed, or at least that's how I understand it. Even a 30 ias grief + a 15 ias jewel hits 9 frames

I normally run with at least highlords, so I figured I was well beyond the cap. Maybe this is common knowledge and I'm an idiot, but:

40 ias pb + 40 ias from gear = no increase
40 ias pb + 45 ias from gear = yes

37 ias pb + 45 ias from gear = no increase
37 ias pb + 50 ias from gear = yes

30 ias pb + 50 ias from gear = no increase
30 ias pb + 55 ias from gear = yes

So somewhere between 82-85 weapon + gear ias the animation at least is faster, and it appeared to kill things faster, but I didn't do any maths or record and go frame by frame or anything

yeah I never used an ias jewel on lod but i tested it out after seeing this thread and its noticeable

There is definitely faster bps on berserk, when I charge up frenzy and then zerk it is faster than should be possible

This is with 30 ias grief and 40 ias from gear, zerk gets faster after fenzying

Try with 30 ias grief and 55 ias from gear. Should get you the same BP as frenzy stacks

I'd be curious to see from a pvm pov that pumping frenzy or zerk actually ends up being more efficient than WW because based on the old bps it isn't even close, as bored as i am with WW it's the best

Best for what? I preferred both frenzy and zerk to ww even pre D2R. Depends what you're farming I guess

I usually use Chaos as a metric and after yes, many respecs and gear shifts I always have to come back to good ole' WW.

TLDR

ISO summary once discussion is done.

Thanks.

Fair enough. When I do chaos on a barb I use berserk and kill all seals in like 40 seconds

since this seems related do you guys have any idea how to test to see if strafe can now get 2fpa server side and on that note are we sure that the new breakpoints for smite are for server side and not just client?
