hi - long story short i am trying to decide between a 2/20fcr/10fhr/104ar/22cr helm vs a 2/20fcr/visio/25str helm. if you don't need anymore info feel free to stop here. otherwise....
is calculating the AR on d2planner as simple as adding both weapons attack rating together? if it is then according to d2planner with an inventory that has 1x 451pdsc, 8x non AR sc's (life/mana, res, fhr), anni, torch, cube, and the remaining slots all having 15 ar (some life some fhr) my AR would be:
with visio - 8,364
with 104ar helm - 7,902

enchant + visio - 11,656
enchant + 104ar helm - 11,648

so, if i have my calculations correct the AR is actually higher with the 104 helm when i am enchanted. i am new to barbarians so this is surprising to me as i've always thought visio was the best. can someone please confirm if i am doing everything correctly here?

Maxroll/d2planner does not calculated the "Attack%" from skills for some reason

charge/zeal/ww/ conc fury or any attacks, that gives AR% bonus from skill.

Try checking AR with "Peterpaulruben"

Use the base accuracity valued listed there.
Should tell you the total base ar listed from items + stats.

Then you do this:
Base accuracity * (1+((Skill%+Gear%)/100))

Typical:
Base accutracity * (1+((Wirlwind% + Axe Mastery % + enchant % + Visio%)/100))

Here is a formula if u want to do it manual.

Base AR = (Dexterity * 5) - 35 + ClassBonus

Where classbonuses are:
Class ClassBonus

Amazon +5
Assassin +15
Barbarian +20
Necromancer -10
Paladin +20
Sorceress -15
Druid +5

So for barb wirl that is:
((Dex*5)-15+GearAr) * (1+((Wirl% + Mastery% + Enchant% + Visio%)/100))

Edit:
I notice they use Base as 85, and 800 from stats on my barb... This just means they read the base value based upon what starting dex barb has.. Then add dex. Which is a harder way of doing it... Cause u need to check how much did the barb actually start with etc...

i was doing it on a level 95 since that what i am. good point about 99. i just changed it to 99 and it only added about 100 to the non enchant and not even 100 to the enchanted totals.

The 2/20/Visio is a much better helm.. higher attack rating and damage .. higher attack rating = higher percentage of hits = more damage and stuns
