I calculated that a syntenergied firestorm from pheonix is around 2k fire burning damage pr second, which is multiplied by 1,4 to calc full duration damage on a player if i remember correct. Ofc this was without any +% fire dmg. I also think this was not fully syntegied. Missing like 10 base syntenergies skills.
Tornado from stormlash is around 2k physical damage if i remember correct too fully syntenergied. Stormlash is +2 rangeadder as well, it also packs static, cb and some physical damage as well as 1 to 514 light damage.

Current druid not reaching 4 frames explains why it looks slow as hell. However if you go into Legacy it appears to attack faster and looks like 4 frames

It certainly sounds like a fun build to try out even for public PvP, don’t think this would be allowed in GM melee imagine that lol. Just need a way to consistently beat BM smitters with life tap that are the mayority of duels in Public games

Well, d2r and ptr has completely different attackspeed.

For me the d2r Graphics has always looked wierd on any kind of speed. Casting hammers looks slower as well. D2lod is more direct Graphics meanwhile d2r tries to smooth it out.
There might also be issues on thar Graphics displaying attackspeed correct i dno.

real fuggin good

It felt right when D2R was released and we could reach 3 frames, after they capped IAS, it has always felt really slow even with tomb reaver.

Rabies is unblockable.
Rabies used to kill most smiters in 1 hit on d2lod and has now been buffed. (both ar and damage)

I used a death web + jmod with 4 facets on switch. And ofc trang oul gloves.
(+45% psn damage/-75 enemy psn res and plr)
Then eth botd ba + stormshield to trigger the hit.

AR and damage have been buffed quite a bit for rabies.

I used to run 48k rabies dmg.
In hell enemies plr starts at -100.

Psn Damage * unitModifier * ((100-PR)/100) * ((100-PLR/100)
Assuming paladin stack the 75 negative res and has no plr equip.
48000*0,17*((100-75)/100) * ((100-(-100))/100) = 4080 life taken by rabies. As well as you left some physical damage while biting. And even hopefully some ow.
Ofc rabies has been buffed in dmg now so will 1 tap such smiters.

The dmg is ofc way higher if he dont stack the 75 piercing psn res.
So if u run some frw, and Ideally 68fcr u should be able to land several hit and runs.
Rabies dont stop at 1 life such as other psn skills, but it kills. Just stay in range to keep it active.

The effect of -75% to enemy psn res also pierce any PLR by that ammount. Not just res.

I don’t really like rabies though, in public games they just heal, need to kill them in under 3 seconds. It is true it should do more dmg, why 68 fcr? To teleport shift and use rabies?

Smiters with life tap are pretty powerful BM characters in PvP, which is why there are so many, they can kill any other character basically. I think finally they might start dieing consistently to Fury Druids, but the key change is actually FHR, which is what prevents you from hitting them today, this with the increased dmg and AR should kill them, but we will see. I am convinced even today if smite didn’t stun like it does you could kill them even without the PTR

If we still wont have FRW skill or teleport, we should at least be able to completely dominate melee in Public duels, barbs, paladins and kicksins, and any caster that makes a mistake, windy druid because of range, should also die quickly to 3 frames 5 range fury

Yes, to teleport in human shape. You shape change really fast between the forms with this fcr, and rabies has inzane(at least had) action frame. So it delivers the hit before half the attack animation is displayed.
The base action frame should be starting on 9 for 1 handed weps, and 8 for polearms, instead of 19 and 17. And then with the eias boost lands pretty fast.
