I got a 40ias/4os magic phase blade
Gonna make fire claw druid. I'm thinking 2x ias/res jewels and 2x shaels in the sockets right?

The guide here doesn't make much sense so I'm asking you guys

Does not make any sense

Your proposed socketing will indeed reach the maximum bear form fire claw 110 weapon IAS breakpoint

4 soc 40 ias phase blade is just a way to steal your fg

6 soc phase blade with 2x shael does the exact same, but can be superior with 15 ed 3 ar too

But I just recommend d2 legacy ias calculator

I did and yeah the ones with stock ias and sockets are just style but I always like to have at least 1 elite-ish item on any char. Anyway yeah according to the calculator site a total of 110 ias is needed to reach 4 fpa on bear form. Besides this is going to be a secondary toon. I already have 2 others that mean business lol

It’s for legacy d2 btw right? Cos this speed works there but doesn’t work in d2r anymore

It's the titanseal site which I used since before dr2 was ever an idea. My comp can't run that (I'm pretty sure) and I don't wanna start all over

Fire claw bear uses eTomb Reaver - top choice, or any good 2-hander like BotD, Ribcracker. At least Windhammer or IK maul.
When you build FC Bear you should aim for strong physical damage.
