Breakpoints for Strafer?

[Papasmurf90]

Does anyone know where I can find a list of all the breakpoints for a strafer for all the bows? I know theres one for LoD in a guide I saw a while back but I don't know if that would carry over to Classic.

Thanks.

Better late than never, I say.

I spent some time this weekend going over the strafe breakpoints and all my tests indicate that they are indeed the same as the expansion. You won't be able to hit the final 2fpa speed though, not even with a -10 bow such as Hunters as you'll need 60% with that particular bow, which is not possible in classic (thinking off the top of my head), unless you're partied with fana aura pala.

Edit: The breakpoints are the same. Just so we're on the same page here, the breakpoints are:

-10 wsm bows (eg Hunters)
0% IAS = 3fpa
60% IAS = 2fpa

0 wsm bows (eg Short Battle Bow)
0% IAS = 3fpa
86% IAS = 2fpa

5 wsm bows (eg Short Bow)
0% IAS = 4fpa
6% IAS = 3fpa
102% IAS = 2fpa

10 wsm bows (eg Long Battle Bow)
0% IAS = 4fpa
11% IAS = 3fpa
120% IAS = 2fpa

Could I be a pain and ask you kindly to list the xbows as well? :o

-60 wsm (eg Chu-Ko-Nu)
0% IAS = 3.5fpa
8% IAS = 3fpa

-40 wsm (eg Repeating Crossbow)
0% IAS = 4fpa
4% IAS = 3.5fpa
35% IAS = 3fpa

-10 wsm (eg Light Crossbow)
0% IAS = 5fpa
3% IAS = 4.5fpa
18% IAS = 4fpa
46% IAS = 3.5fpa
109% IAS = 3fpa

10 wsm (eg Heavy Crossbow)
0% IAS = 6fpa
2% IAS = 5.5fpa
11% IAS = 5fpa
27% IAS = 4.5fpa
50% IAS = 4fpa
95% IAS = 3.5fpa
215% IAS = 3fpa


I haven't confirmed all of these yet, but these should be the breakpoints for cross bows (there's no reason why they shouldn't). I ran out of time tonight to finish the tests, but thought I'd post them anyway since it's so far matching what I expected, and also just incase I didn't get around to it tomorrow. Similiar to the normal bows, the breakpoints would be the same as the expansion crossbows.

I think you can get 60 ias in classic

30ias from sigon gloves + helmet/boots
20ias from twitch
10ias from goldwrap

also, cant the bows have 20ias?

Yea, bows can have 0, 10, 20 ias.

This is also why you die so much :rolleyes:

Max IAS would be:
20 on a Rare Bow
(50 from Rogue's Bow (useless)
30 from Sig Gloves+Helm
10 from Goldwrap
(30 from Deaths Gloves+Sash, a better choice)
20 Twitchthroe
=80IAS possible with a rare bow.
