Was looking to get a good guide on a BVC/BVA build or if someone could PM me I feel confident in my barbs PTs distribution and skills just have a few minor things that could be tweaked that I have questions about if someone who is a good BVC/BVA can PM me so I can pick your brain.

Well, boring to play with shield... Just go commando....

Grief + Beast Berzerker axes.
EIAS = floor(120*ias/(120+ias)+SkillIAS-WSM-GearSlow-SkillSlow-Chilled
EIAS upper cap = 75
EIAS lower cap = -85 (probarly)
Gear Slow cap = 50
SkillIas Cap i dno... I think it may be 50 each source...
Chilled = 50% slow, but you should avoid this with 'cham in helm'

17 EIAS is breakpoint for 5fpa = 5 attacks per second (each wep)
41 EIAS is breakpoint for 4fpa = 6,25 attacks per second (each wep)

This formula gives you the FPA output:
1 handed weps: RoundUP(7*256/Floor(256*(100+EIAS)/100))-1
2 handed weps: RoundUP(9*256/Floor(256*(100+EIAS)/100))-1 (other EIAS breakpoints)

Rumours and testing has it that the hit on the 4th frame u get for free(no checking of EIAS), and the hit you earlier got on frame 8 u now get on frame 9 and is a free hit as well(no checking of EIAS).
Also, at frame 4 testing shows that u can hit 2 additonally targets(1 each wep). Which basicly means you hit 4 targets. The wepons swings simmultanious and im unsure if both can hit the same target at same time... Some1 should really test that xD
Anyway, since theese hits on frame 4 and 9 are free, you should keep ur wirl as short and tight as possible when slowed.

Now:
Beast lvl 9 fana = 29 skill ias.
Berserker axe = 0 WSM.
Ias from axes alone = 40

That adds up to 59 EIAS.
Which means you drop down to 49 EIAS and is still at max WW speed if 10% arach slow.
U can handle 18% slow then.

Adding hl grants you 69 EIAS.
You can then handle: 28% slow.

Harder forms of slow, such as clay golem, holy freeze, impale, decreficy means u will drop down to 5fpa wirl. But 4 and 9 frame is free, so keep them short and you attack at max speed.
Lets say a paladin bm you with holy freeze, and possible gear its, its best to do shorts wirls back and forth leaned a bit away from him. In a zic-zak pattern.

To stack for more slow with gear is hard... If ur duelling a pala fcr might be less important, and you can add a few ias for this reason.
20ias/10cb or KB/adds gloves will grant you 80 ias, which ends up at 77 EIAS which is capped at 75 ofc, but acts as a stack.. That means u can handle: 36% slow(gleglaws + arach).
No other ias stack would be reasonable...

Vs nec.. i think clay golem might be capped at 50% in pvp, but not sure. Its slow% quickly goes way above 50% in skill description... Well, u want fcr vs him. So either zerk or make as short wirls as possible.

And if you really want a shield setup i help you there quickly too...
You need 64 ias to maintain 41 EIAS. But both amas and barbs and paladins may very well be using arach. And u get slowed with first hit, and u attack half as fast since only one wep equipped already...
So to counter arach slow to maintain at 41 EIAS (4fpa attack) you actually need 90 ias on grief BA + Stormshield.
Well, you already have 60(hl + grief). So next point would be 15ias/adds jool in stormshield. Then dropping down to 40fcr and equipping your 20ias/10cb or kb/15dex/adds gloves.... That gives you 95 ias and u can maintain 4fpa wirl with an shield.

Now that you are aware of the subject you can follow DHA's guide.
