does the attack speed change mean that off gear ias now affect wolf and bears attack speed? If off gear ias now affects these forms, then this is a massive buff as it opens up so many options for weapons.

I am also still waiting to hear if anyone knows what PTR patch notes mean here. It sounds like IAS will be calculated the same way for druids whether or not they are in shapeshift form but what exactly does that mean? So they get IAS from all gear? Right?
that is how I'm interpreting this..

Hi, gel. See above conversation. Do we know what tables to use to calculate human form Druid attack breakpoints with fury skill?

Two possibilities.

First, the off gear ias now counts as on weapon ias and we still use the same wolf breakpoints. Thus this is a huge buff as it opens a ton of options to hit 4frames.

Second, everything now is calculated from human form, meaning break points will be different for Fury in wolf vs Fury in human. This could be messy but I doubt this is the case though. It is easier to edit old formulas than introduce new ones.

I would assume first version as well.

But the patch note was very weak on information.
Actually hard to know, i was just thinking about how fast u can swarm volcano+fissure+moulten+firestorm combi. Cause all had delays, they just dont delay other skills xD
Im not home atm, but i might try this PTR later

I really want to get earth shifter to 5 frame with all that armageddon skill damage. Let's hope it's the first.

Waiting with bated breath for testing results here tomorrow while I'm working ><

Anyone been able to do some testing around this?

e/ Thought the PTR came out today but guess I am not sure?
