hey! havent played bvc on d2r so need some help

what`s the ias needed on grief zerker and ias total

and how ias can be calculated, like from gloves/helm + 1x weapon ?

it`s for a bvc, so WW + zerk

thanks

Input your stats here :

Will you be using grief zerk + beast zerk?
If so, make sure you add the lvl 9 fana

And it’s also fun to see how your setup gets affected if you apply a 10% slow, because it’s very common to be affected by it in pvp

It's 34 ias if you're wondering the minimum requirement for WW breakpoint

In D2Lod it's pretty easy. 34% IAS is required to hit 4 frame (fastest breakpoint) with Berserker Axe

D2r is more complicated, IAS from any source can now affect WW. Skills, wep and armor. The only thing that doesn't count is your offhand %IAS when your main hand is swung and vice versa. IAS from skill also has a stronger effect as it's not effected by diminishing returns.

To simplify for BA:

14% IAS total to hit 4 frame attack with lvl9 fant from beast

63% IAS without any fant.

So if you are running classic griefz/beastz any IAS roll will work on grief.

As mentioned %slow, decrep and cold now slow u down in ww:

With 10% slow:
Lvl9 fant 27%
Bo fant 89%

Decrep or chilled essentially fuck ww and u will need 150+ to get back to 4frame

In LoD wasn't it a good thing to be slowed because you hit more frequently by frames?

Forgot where I got that information from, and it worked with the old school Tri Whirl PvP technique for PvM runs.

It was that u could make short whirlwinds really easily while slowed so it was easier to concentrate your attacks on one target.

Thank you for this, very clear (ww)

What about IAS required for zerk ?

44 IAS with 9 fant
125 without

So the IAS from Grief doesn't even matter now?

with fant being such a massive IAS boost since its "skill" IAS it seems to really not matter too much.

The issue is for BA + Shield where now its a big nerf to hit max frames with BA. 63 IAS is alot for a BVB build. basically requires 2 15% IAS jewels in the gear somewhere.
