I heard that too, that they reworked it, but either maxroll.gg does not reflect those changes yet, or it doesn't work for this skill. If you try to stack off weapon IAS, it simply won't cut it for the WW hit breakpoints. Even if you consider dimishing return, which is huge and put all your gear towards IAS and add a Faith bow A1 merc, you won't reach the last breakpoint (4).

yep, maxroll is wrong about that:)

Oh wow, thank you very much for clarifying that. Do you know a reliable calculator then? I aways wanted to try out WW with two big fat 2H weapons in each hand. Got my Grief in a

Zweihander right now, my next goal would be BOTD and that juicy 60% IAS seems very nice now.

Nevermind, found this bad boy - https://warren1001.github.io/IAS_Calculator/

attackspeed.php

The one on this site (the one Tornado_OLO linked), is a fork of Warren’s. I.e., they’re functionally the same, just different colors/theme.

Warren’s (and by extension, the one on this site) is the only IAS calculator that is up-to-date with all D2R patches.

Maxroll is also incorrect about some other skills (like

Strafe and

Fury: Skill, IIRC). It’s correct for most skills, sure, but to be safe, always double check IAS calculations with Warren’s/ diablo2.io’s.

You can also share attack speed calculations on the diablo2.io version by copy+pasting the URL

Phase Blade is easily the coolest looking sword in the game IMO, regardless of who holds it. It's your character though, so obviously no one will change your mind!

I have seen plenty of dual Grief

Phase Blade barbarians, and even if they rape everything on the screen, they look hilarious running around with tiny swords in each hand.

Is the longer reach of a

Colossus Blade (compared to a

Phase Blade) a meaningful advantage, or is it just cosmetic?

Looks are secondary to performance. Well, at least that was the mantra 25 years back. I have no reason to think or believe otherwise today.

This. It's an action game, not a fashion show.
Maybe if we had a (limited!) transmog option...

D2R is a highly complex paper doll dress up simulator.

no, the reason my druid is not using hoto, is because flails looks like shit, the day you can make hoto in a sword I will use it.
I made Enigma in full plate armor just for the looks, I don't give a fuck if the armor requires 80 str, necro can still wear it having 0 points in str.

Same here!
I too have an Enigma in a

Full Plate Mail (for my uber smiter) and refuse to put a Hoto

Flail on my sorc. I also refuse to put a green towel on any of my Char's heads, no matter how good it is.
