I'm confused by that red line with says further ias useless
Because it doesn't correspond with the table.

So, with only a phase blade you need 65% more ias to hit 6 frames right? (last questions ^_^ )

tbh, even i'm confused with that screen..

you see, it says 6 fpa smite with 65 ias (but doesn't say "further ias useless")

it says 6 fpa smite with 75 ias (and says "further ias useless")

if it's the same fpa for 65 ias and 75 ias, shouldn't it be saying "further ias useless" when i have 65 ias?

While I don't know what causes the inaccuracy in Heri's Weapon Speed Calculator, the calculator is no longer found in the calculators section @ inDia, leaving only TitanSeal's Attack Speed Calculator (Angriffsgeschwindigkeits Calculator). From what I remember, Heri's calculator reportedly has some flaws, although less severe.

TitanSeal's calculator (Version 3) is the recommended choice.

At +65% IAS (Paladin, Phaseblade, Smite, Fanaticism level 0), it reads "further IAS useless", as one would expect.

I have to disagree with the killing time esitmates.

[...]

Grief Set-up
Grief Phase Blade (almost perf)
Guillaumes Face (Um'd)
Maras
CoH
Draculs
T-Godz
HoZ
Raven + rare manaleech/resists
Gores

&

LW Set-up
Last Wish Phase Blade
Kiras
Highlords
CoH
Draculs (forgot to get ias gloves so i think i was missing my ias breakpoint)
T-Godz
HoZ
Raven + rare manaleech/resists
Gores

-------------------------------------------
Grief Times
Lilith 26.5 seconds to kill
Izual 13
Duriel 24.5
Meph 26 (I used fanat on both builds)
Diablo 18
Baal 19.5

LW Times
Lilith 29 seconds to kill
Izual 13.5 seconds
Duriel 26 seconds
Meph 11.5 seconds
Diablo 21 seconds (had to guestimate T.O.D added a few seconds)
Baal 22 seconds (had to guestimate T.O.D again)

Diablo and Baal are probably pretty close to Grief times with LW, it was lagging during the time I was killing them with LW
(got disconnected from server during Diablo last % of health, and it lagged twice while killing Baal, half way and during last % of health)
Still got my charm though ;p

To compare the killing time estimates and ingame results, you should at least use the exact same offensive equipment as the one outlined in the guide.
About the estimates: see 5)-6).

Your time for Mephisto with the Grief setup (50% CB) looks suspicious.

What type of armor is best for the 'Duress' runeword?

Less str the better, as more of it can be used on vit/dex?

Basically use whichever Elite lightweight armor you prefer.

Strength adders: Dracul's, HoZ, Thundergod's, and Guillaume's.

Essentially then, you could do with statting to ~ 75-80 base Strength.

Do you need two IAS Jewels on the HoZ/Guillaume's or is just one of them fine?

with highlords, 1x 15ias jewel is enough

with 2x 15 ias and 35+ ias on your grief you won't need the ias from highlords so you could use another amulet then
