Walker?

[Duality]

I was thinking of making a dual-claw martial artist build but I had one question.

Since claw block doesn't work when you are running, how well would it work to just walk all the time? Using cats eye/gores (Up'd) + BoS would give 60% FRW + whatever level of BoS. What would 110% FRW speed (only walking) be in terms of running?

Err... to clarify, how much FWR would I need (while walking) to move at roughly the same speed as 70% FRW (while running)

Or am I just being silly and the loss of claw block while running doesn't matter that much?

I checked that stats forum but they don't have anything listed under run/walk speed under the knowledge & guide sticky.

From what I've heard, Claw Block doesn't work while you're walking either. Only when you're standing/attacking(/casting?).

As long as you at least try to avoid enemy attacks/projectiles, you should be fine.

Bleh. That sucks. Renders my idea pointless :)
The idea was less about having claw block active all the time then being goofy by having a walking sin that moved faster then most people run, with the added benefit of having claw block. Maybe I'll just make a C/S MA assy instead....

Can anyone confirm that claw block indead doesn't work while walking?
And possibly provide me with a link to a table that compares run/walk speeds at varying FRW amounts? (or a means of calculating it)

Claw Block definitely doesn't work while walking or running. It does work while standing still, attacking, casting, or WWing.

As far as FRW goes, PeterPaulRubens has a great calc. However, it's hosted on a competing site and unless the rules have changed I'm not supposed to post links to them here. But if you do a search for his name, it's very easy to find.

edit: It may not stack very well with high level BoS, but don't forget about Harmony on a Rogue.

mmm.... PeterPaulRuben has some great calcs, thanks for pointing me that way ^.^
Did you know that if you have L40 skellies/skellie mastery, they have 7k life and do 600 damage? 6800 dps.

For anyone who cares, 60% from equip, 50% from skills (BoS) walk speed is equal to 60% from equip run speed... Add in the 36% from harmony and the walk speed is equal to 170%! FRW from equip. Gogo diminishing returns!

Harmony's not a bad idea, just for the sake of amusement. I might go ahead and try it as soon as I find a semi-decent 4 socket bow... (nice cheap runeword too, I can actually make it, how odd)

I suppose I'll go with a C/S (probably tucs/SS) walking MA/Kicker assy. Might be fun just for kicks. Er... sorry about that, wasn't intentional. (I swear!)

Thanks everyone. :)
