No data yet

2

Description

Got another Q here for the more experienced players...

I've got IK full set. Am starting Act II Hell difficulty - Using Barb
Whirlwind
build.

What two socketable items are BEST to place in the
Immortal King's Stone Crusher
(it has only 2 sockets).

should I go IAS... with
Shael
Runes (is there a IAS limit for this weapon)?

or

the life / mana leech runs?

or

2 x Perfect Skulls?

or

increased damage items to socket?

I'm swamped with confusion!

I'd read/skim these old forum topics. They will probably answer all your Immortal Kings questions.

I'm willing to accept other forms of currency. Like Tokens, Keys,
Perfect Gems
, and certain minor runes in lieu of my asking price. I'm also willing to accept rune combinations that add up to my asking price.

See the
Ias x fpa table

Fpa = frames per attack (the lower the value, faster you attack)

Ias = how much ias on all your equipment need to reach a specific FPA

So in your case using
Whirlwind
and using complete Immortal King, with no extra ias, you will have 65 ias (40 from weapon and 25 from gloves)

This gives you 6 fpa (58 ias breakpoint)
You need more 60 to reach the next breakpoint (125 ias 5 fpa)

You can reach it with 2
Shael
and a
Highlord's Wrath
.

You do not gain extra speed until you reach 125 ias total. So put 2
Shael
without another source of 20 ias in this case would be useless ...

If you have some skill that increase IAS, like
Frenzy
,
Burst of Speed
- from Hustle or
Fanaticism
- from Faith - the table changes as IAS from skills is better (do not have diminishing returns)
Ex: with 5 level of
Frenzy
, you have 5 fpa with only 52 ias.

(You may test those things in the link)

Is IAS better than ED for this weapon?

Depends... a huge increase in damage will be better than a small increase in speed and vice versa...

Speed have the breakpoint problem (extra ias is useless if you not reach another breakpoint...)

The best thing is use some calculator to know if equipA or equipB is better to you.

I use a lot this.
https://maxroll.gg/d2/d2planner/

But it has a known issue that it do not calculate 100% correctly the attacks per second of
Strafe
and
Whirlwind
...

But can help at least you figure out your real "single attack" damage and "hit chance".

And then, you use the correct attack speed to compare.

Obs: in D2R 1 second = 25 frames so 5 FPA is 5 attacks per second for example.

I agree with Fredkid. 6 frame
Whirlwind
is about 4 attacks per second, and 5 frame
Whirlwind
is 5 attacks per second. That's a big increase in damage per second, more crushing blow per second, and more frequent life and mana leech

For the additional 20 ias, the two options I can think of are cat's eye amulet or (two) 15 ias jewels in your
Helm
and armor. When you eventually get a highlord's, that's the best option though

i can trade for or have?
