like i literally just put 2 shael in the weapon, 2 +15% ias jewels in the helm and 1 in the armor, pre-buffed with hustle, Beast werebear with Metamorphosis on for mark of the bear, frenzy +45% ias for 13 seconds, and act 1 Faith 15 fanat merc…
AND I STILL WASNT ABLE TO REACH 5 FRAME WHIRLWIND on full IK set.
WHAT THE HECK DEV’S?!?!?!??!?!?!!? there’s literally nothing else i could do to try and reach 5 frames.
I could reach 4 frames before the “buff” in full Ik with 2 shael and a burrito.
the ias patch is so embarrassingly dumb for WW 2 handers. they really closed half the melee game for business. it’s just Grief or be a meme.
fix the game

How did you verify you weren’t getting 5 frames?
125 ias reaches 5 frames with IK Maul based on Warren’s calculator.
40 on maul
40 from 2x Shael in maul
25 from IK gloves
20 from Highlords
Sucks that it’s no longer 4 fpa like we had before 2.4 and I also want them to take another pass at WW BP.
im using an Antelope Audio Satori Monitoring System with an R4S controller to detect hits per 25 frames per second over a 60 second batch of 99 tests and 1 control, comparing only hits 3,4, and 5.
the result is 6 frames mean.
it seems Warren’s calculator is not calculating diminishing returns.

Based on Maxroll, it’s 120 IAS to hit the 5-Frame breakpoint for WW. Yet I suspect that WW is still treating IAS from Weapon and ignoring all other sources despite the fact it’s not supposed to if you’re getting 6-Frames. The 6-Frame breakpoint is 58, or 1 Shael rune while 5-Frame requires 120 IAS for a 10 base speed weapon.
I have a IK Barb setup on Maxroll with 15 IAS Jewels in all sockets(140 IAS overall). I have 6-Frame WW breakpoint and 12-Frame/120 IAS breakpoint for Concentrate. Adding in a Faith Fanaticism does nothing for WW(still 6-Frame) but bumps Concentrate to 10 Frames/89 IAS or the max possible from the looks of it. IF Maxroll is correct, then WW is still working like it used to do back in the day by ignoring all IAS sources that aren’t on the Weapon itself. They just made 2-H Weapons all but pointless to use if that’s the case since who the freaking hell can hit 120 IAS on the Weapon?

is just awful playing 2 hander
sometime is better too stack damage and stay too 6 frame ,
this dump dev working on d2re , just have o clue what he doing ,
go play poe1 barb and melee just have a massive buff
Agreed. Just bring back the old WW mechanics. WW never needed to be touched. Shape shifters I do get needed to move away from wias as it was essential for fury druids to wield an eth reapers without worrying about attack speed consequences. But WW is a whole different story.

I think they touched it b/c D2R had a bug that wasn’t applying the “free” hits quite right, which was apparently super involved to fix, so they gave us this instead…but yeah wtf:
- Capping 2H at 5 FPA no matter how much IAS
- Making WW hit speed susceptible to chill/decrep now
Some of the early game setups it actually is an improvement, like running Insight Partizan through NM or something, but end game got nerfed when WW hasn’t been OP in forever.
