This tool is a resource designed to determine the attack speed of characters in the game Diablo II. Attack speed is a crucial factor influencing a character’s damage output. The functionality of this tool typically involves inputting a character’s class, equipped weapon, and any sources of increased attack speed (IAS) from gear and skills. The tool then calculates the frames per attack, indicating how quickly the character executes attacks.
The utility stems from the complex mechanics governing attack speed in the game. The displayed attack speed in-game is often misleading, failing to accurately represent the true attack rate. This tool provides a more precise calculation, allowing players to optimize their equipment choices to reach desired breakpoints for maximum efficiency. Historically, its importance has grown as players seek to maximize their character’s potential in end-game content, driving the need for accurate calculations.
