Dragon Talon IAS question

[this_barb]

how much IAS would you need in addition to using "beast" caduceus (-10 speed, +40% ias, lvl 9 fanaticism) to get 7/2 dragon talon kicking speed?

how about using a 0 speed weapon with no ias (not even burst of speed), how much ias would you need?

[Naliworld]

Hm...would be interesting to see an Assassin wielding a scepter. :)

In any case, as Fanaticism gives a 29 EIAS bonus at slvl 9(which would need 37% extra IAS on equipment to reach 7/2 frames), and Beast already has 40% innate IAS on equipment, you're already at 7/2 frames with 3% IAS to spare.

woo HOO :D,

well i had another idea using death's web (0 speed) for the -50 poison resistance.

Hm...I don't know if it's worth sacrificing your weapon slot for just to improve your Venom damage....not to mention the weirdness of an Assassin running around with a wand. :p

hehe, of course its weird, thats why its cool, this is no cookie cutter fireball sorc build :D

[Naliworld]

Well, you'd need 152% IAS to hit 7/2 frames with Death's Web, so that kinda rules it out, unless you're planning to use BoS.

If you are, you'll need 27% IAS on top of an slvl 10 BoS(or slvl 15 BoS + 20% IAS).

yea, your right...

beast caddy here i come!

so i have some theories on how she'll hold it

i think shes goin to strut a little with the caddy swingin to her side at a low angle and shes goin to beat people with it (if she melees) much like the amazon using a sword :D
