Hi, has anyone else noticed that burst of speed seems to work differently? I'm at 9fpa without burst of speed (according to the usual legacy d2 speed calc online), but when I use the skill I seem to be laying traps much faster than 9fpa. Anyone hazard a guess on how it's calculated differently than in the original?

If I had to guess, I'd say it's maybe 6 fpa with my lvl 13 bos but I'm not entirely sure

if i had to guess i'd say you're not actually at 9fpa without bos and you get to 9fpa with boss
8fpa is slightly over 3 actions per second
6fpa is slightly over 4 actions per second
try to measure it

here's a vid of some trap laying:

relevant items are:

40% ias greater claw (gloveside)
bartuc
treachery armor

unless i'm mistaken, this setup should reach max speed with fade and not get any faster with burst...

i'm counting 12fb in slightly over 4s which matches 9fpa, without bos
and then 15fb in about 4.4s which is 7.3fpa
it's hard to measure precisely because of the start and the end. Could be 7fpa could be 8. But it really doesn't look like 9.

haven't tested this thoroughly but i believe it also b̶o̶o̶s̶t̶s̶ reduces the fpa of other attack skills (dtalon, dclaw... guided arrow from widow?)

works in legacy and non legacy?

It's definitely faster than 9 fpa, I tested this in single player with wsm bugged claws and valk sin and it's stupid fast with bos on, definitely a noticeable increase from fade

Smiting with a phase blade and extra ias on ammy/helm/gloves also feels much faster than max speed in legacy d2

This def needs more testing with different chars and different attacks/buffs i.e what if you give a sin fanat on top of the bos

Also possible that its client side only but someone needs to do a good test with 2 people

i've tested with a few people and they can vouch that i'm laying traps/fireblasts much faster. haven't tested with other characters, maybe someone wants to do that with zeal or something?

i suspect it's skill ias only, but who knows at this point

edit: not to mention, i can see targets get their health dropped at a rate consistant with fireblast landing on my screen
