IAS or damage for Vengence?

Here is my IAS breakdown. IAS | ticks |attacks per second

0 16 1.56
5 15 1.66
11 14 1.78
22 13 1.92
34 12 2.08
50 11 2.27
78 10 2.5
120 9 2.77
215 8 3.12

I’m probably around 50 IAS, I’m using vengeance and conviction. I have a 3 slot Aldur’s Rhythm Jagged Star Mace. Seems like it would take a lot of shael runes to get anymore attacks out of it so should I be slotting Min/Max weapon damage? Also, going back to the chart, is there any dps value between the decimal values for attacks per second? So for example is 2.5 attacks per second the same dps as 2.7 and so on till you get to the next whole number?

I can’t link yet so here is what’s on the weapon already.

  • 30% Increased Attack Speed
  • Adds 40-62 Damage
  • +200% Damage to Demons
  • +50-75 Lightning Damage
  • 5% Mana Stolen per Hit
  • 10% Life Stolen per Hit
  • +50% Damage to Undead

(It’s a druid set, so not going to keep it, but the answer should help me down the road)

IAS works off breakpoints, so in this case having 65% IAS is no different than having 50% IAS. You have to hit those breakpoint numbers before you get a boost. If you have 50% IAS, I wouldn’t worry about min-maxing that particular weapon too much since you’ll be replacing it with an elite weapon soon enough.
