Thanks man


I'm wondering with this page, the lower the number is making it faster?



For example:
Warpike: 54ias = 7

Great Poleaxe 37ias = 6.5





Still wondering which base is better for trav runs as a goldfind barb, using act2 might merc (ebotd)


I'll only have IAS from BOTD, i'll be using eth fort + eth crown of thieves

I'm wondering with this page, the lower the number is making it faster?



For example:
Warpike: 54ias = 7 frames

Great Poleaxe 37ias = 6.5 frames


Warpike
[20] (that means it has a base speed of 20 so botd would only give you 40ias instead of 60. If that makes sense.
Ama - Slow
Asn, B, D, N, P, S - Very Slow


Great poleaxe
[0] base speed - botd gives you 60 ias
D, S - Fast
Asn, B, N, P - Normal
Ama - Slow


Thresher
[-10] Botd gives 70 IAS as the base speed is -10 (means it actually gives +10% ias)
D - Very Fast
N, P, S - Fast


I like looking at 0 base ias (weapon speed 0 or weapon less)break point tables and taking it from there so a2 merc ias bps are

0 ias__ 8 frames

9 ias __ 7.5 frames

20 ias __ 7 frames

37 ias __ 6.5 frames

65 ias __ 6 frames

105 ias __ 5.5 frames

200 ias __ 5 frames

But What your looking at is the low single digit number your referring to is the frames per second. The lower , the faster you are.
Check my profile for links to arreat summit..

Great poleaxe botd with no other ias will give you 6.5 frames.
Use an IAS jewel or something to hit the last 5 ias you need for 6 frames.

Hope this makes sense to you. Once you get it you get it.

Warpike base speed 20


Botd 60 ias - 20 base speed warpike = 40 ias.

So even with a 15ias jewel in your crown of thieves you'll only hit 55 ias , 10 short of the 6 frames ias bp.


Crown with a 15 IAS jewel + botd great poleaxe = 75 ias / 6 frames attack speed with a wasted 10 IAS.

use a eth upped steel skull hat with ias/fire res jewel

that will give you 25ias from the helm alone with plenty of leach and fire res if you use the jewel i suggested

with your warpike
