Weapon Switch Glitch says Hi

Could some one explain in simple terms what the ias bug was?

Sorry i only started playing last saturday and have no idea of this and would love to enrich myself with knowledge of what it entailed.

regards

IAS cap from the old LoD disappeared at D2R > poeple invested & optimized their builds to some “new practical” limit > blizz silently brought that cap back again this patch > melee builds gone dead again, so am I.

Hey man happens in every game with obvious bugs being obvious.

Not my fault if your dumb enough to invest in it and then be upset.

I don’t think it’s accurate that non weapon IAS does nothing. Try this:

  1. Equip a plain, normal battle axe.
  2. shape shift and attack.
  3. equip high lord’s, steal skull, twitch throw, sigons boots, belt, and gloves.
  4. attack again.

Step 4 attack is faster than step 2 if it behaves the same as LoD.

30

So this only affects those really extreme builds? eg like those kicksins using a 6 shael pb etc etc?

Does it affect my fury werewolf using a tombreaver with 2 shael for the next frame of attack?

31

No, it affects all builds, IAS cap is underwhelmingly low.
But then again, what did I expect from blizz. They crush everything fun.

32

Can you please elaborate? I am not trying to troll you or anything. I am a very new player and do not know the intricacies of min maxing my character.

I really do not understand how this might be affecting my melee character and would like to learn more.

How would this affect say my WW barb? or my Fury werewolf druid using tombreaver with 2 shael socketed in it?

regards

33

doesn affect ww barb, but every other melee character that uses some sort of skill just immediately got nerfed after patch. e.g. kicksin, ama, zealot, fury bear/wolf with 6 shael pb, smitedins, frenzy barb you name it etc. They attack hell of a lot slower

34

So i would like to check. According to the attack speed calculator i am using a tomb reaver cryptic axe with 2 shael in it so i have 100 ias on my weapon.

Since gear ias does not affect fury the calculator says my attacks with fury would be 4/4/4/4/6 or 5.68 attacks per sec.

Would this change have affected him?

35

If you can see your framerate in the old calculator then you are not affected. If you cannot see your framerate in the new IAS calculator by mrllamasc, then you are affected

36

Could i get a link to this new ias calculator?

Is there any place i can read up on all these more in depth build and mechanics information?

thank you

37

the site blocks direct link so you have to remove any space
OG calculator: d2 .lc / IAS /
Bugged calculator: warren1001 .github .io/ MrLlamaSCStreamInfo / IAS %20 Calculator /

Yes, and a lot, the difference is huge, you willl notice right away, there was nothing broken about in pvp, except maybe trap casting speed, but even kicksins weren’t that great, compared to the truly op class - paladin. I play pvp mainly, and this nerf made druid fury SLOWER than in D2 LoD, not even the same, and of course the extra frame with IAS was in no way broken in pvp, it just made the playing field a little more level.

39

Is that the case? I tried out my fury werewolf and i don’t see any difference so i am very confused atm.

40

you do know the ias bug also buffed grief pb wearing smiters, giving them faster smite speeds than was possible. right?

they were the strongest they have ever been with the uncapped ias.

41

I mean paladins were already the most broken class in RPG history, being extra broken really made no difference imo, but it made a difference for the underpowered builds

Maybe you weren’t using high level werewolf skill or didn’t have any equipment IAS, therefore your frames would be the same
