1. What is IAS in Diablo II: Resurrected?

IAS (Increased Attack Speed) is a key stat in Diablo II: Resurrected that affects how quickly your character can attack with weapons. It's crucial for optimizing character builds and damage output.

2. How Does Attack Speed Calculation Work?

Attack speed calculation in D2R is complex and depends on:

• Weapon base speed (varies by weapon type)
• Character class and skills
• Total IAS from equipment
• Animation frames and breakpoints

Note: This calculator provides a simplified estimation. For precise calculations, character-specific breakpoint tables are needed.

3. Importance of IAS Calculation

Details: Proper IAS optimization helps reach attack speed breakpoints, maximizing damage per second while minimizing wasted IAS stats.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your weapon's speed value (typically -20 to 20) and total IAS percentage from gear. The calculator will estimate the resulting attack speed.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What are attack speed breakpoints?
A: Specific IAS thresholds where your attack animation gains an additional frame, making attacks faster.

Q2: Does IAS affect all skills equally?
A: No, some skills have different IAS calculations or aren't affected by IAS at all.

Q3: How do I find my weapon's speed value?
A: Check weapon databases or in-game advanced tooltips (varies by weapon type).

Q4: Is there an IAS cap?
A: While you can stack IAS indefinitely, each weapon has maximum achievable breakpoints.

Q5: Does IAS affect casting speed?
A: No, Faster Cast Rate (FCR) affects spell casting, not IAS.
