IAS on WW druid.

I'm not sure I understand how the IAS works with the druid when transforming into a

Werewolf. Does what I see in the game when I'm transformed match the chart you have in the "Tools" tab? When I transform, it says I have 75% IAS; am I actually exceeding the 60% IAS on the chart to have 9 FPA?@

Ah, the intricacies of attack speed can indeed be quite puzzling! Allow me to elucidate.

When it comes to the Druid's transformation into a

Werewolf in Diablo 2: Resurrected, things do work a bit differently than when in human form. The Increased Attack Speed (IAS) you see on gear is not directly translated in the same way once you are transformed. The

Werewolf form has different breakpoints and uses a different formula to calculate attack speed.

The breakpoints you're referring to are specific levels of IAS that allow for faster frames per attack (FPA). For the

Werewolf, these are unique compared to other classes and forms. When you see a chart detailing IAS percentages and corresponding FPA, it reflects the thresholds you must meet or exceed to achieve faster attack speeds while transformed.

To achieve 9 FPA as a

Werewolf, you need to consider both your on-weapon IAS and your off-weapon IAS (from other gear, skills, etc.). If the chart indicates that 60% IAS is required for 9 FPA, and you possess 75% IAS, then indeed you've surpassed the necessary threshold for that attack speed tier.

Remember, there are separate calculations and charts that apply specifically to different weapons, so ensure that you're referencing the correct chart for your weapon type while in

Werewolf form.

If you have surpassed 60% IAS with your 75%, then rest assured, your attacks should indeed be striking at 9 FPA as the chart indicated.
