Not counting the 80ias on the xbow itself, what IAS is needed for max multi breakpoint, assuming a lvl15 fanat faith merc?

google: d2 ias calc

It would still suck. Get a better bow

Do as suggested in #2 while keeping in mind:

1. Maximum attack speed with xbow is 11|6 frames (~2.27 aps (attacks per second) | action flag at 6th frame), whereas with bow it is 7|4 frames (~3.57 aps | action flag at 4th frame).
2. Maximum quiver quantity is 250 for Bolts but 350 for Arrows.

my bowa does big damage with a WF right now but I am just wondering about the novelty of a buriza

crossbows are nerf'd for ias.

it was done by devs to emulate the roleplay aspect. medieval bowman could fire at twice the rate of a crossbowman. so they made it so xbows cant shoot as fast as a bow no matter what.

its dumb that they made this choice but not many others that they could have along the same lines.

mess with the ias calc, you'll see that even with optimal gear the ias frames are garbage compared to WF.

Trust me, perfect buriza with faith and ias and whatnot still is visibly worse than a decent (not perfect) windforce build.
