For a little while, during “repairs”.
Now a druid with say a 120 ias Phase Blade (fastest option) has 2,5 aps with normal attack and thus Maul, this could realistically be increased to 2,78 by adding IAS on gear or a whooping 3.57 aps by having a faith merc and 200ias thats the ultimate cap.
That speed is with a basically no damage weapon, you need to work harder if you also want to deal damage.
Tomb Reaver won’t go past 3.13 aps (Fana and 360ias needed for 3.57)
And ofcourse Fireclaw is capped at that speed aswell, all skills are capped at the base attack speed (except Fury).
Wolfbarian is hardcapped at 4.17aps using a low damage skill (Feral Rage at low level is the only option).
Same idea goes for all other Shape builds.
Fireclaw and Wolfbarian both ranked in my top 5 of most fun builds, both are gone.
Wolfbarian completely, Fireclaw can be salvaged a bit because you can use a Sunder Charm to ignore Immunities and Infinity+Facets+Flickering Flames would make it a slow but hard hitting option, very different build from what it was though.
Should note I never personally tried it anymore, was actually in the proces of building a Fireclaw Druid and a Wolfbarian (which I do quite often) when this hit and since the calcs, sheets and everyone I asked confirmed that it was indeed put down behind the shed I gave up on the builds, but I find it highly unlikely they are all wrong.
And as far as I understood Whirlwind assa also took a huge hit during this great fixing massacre, now capped at 5 aps for a low damage per hit build already struggling with attack rating.
