Animations are classified by character code, action mode, and type of item equipped. FramesPerDirection is the number of frames in the animation. AnimationSpeed gives the standard playback rate of the animation in 256ths of a frame. StartingFrame denotes which frame the animation starts on, allowing frames to be skipped. ActionFlagFrames specifies which frame in the animation is used to apply the hit action. Attack cycle length and Attack cycles per second refer to the length of the animation when played at standard, unmodified speed. AnimRate = AnimationSpeed * (100 + percentage speed modifiers) / 100 Frames per attack cycle = ROUNDUP(((FramesPerDirection - 1 - StartingFrame) * 256) / AnimRate) Attack cycles per second = 25 / Frames per attack cycle Assassin attack speed Code Mode Wclass FramesPerDirection AnimationSpeed StartingFrame ActionFlagFrames Attack cycle length Attack cycles per second AI A1 HTH 11 256 0 6 10 2.5 AI A1 1HS 15 256 0 7 14 1.7857 AI A1 2HS 23 256 0 11 22 1.1364 AI A1 1HT 15 256 0 7 14 1.7857 AI A1 2HT 23 256 0 10 22 1.1364 AI A1 STF 19 256 0 9 18 1.3889 AI A1 BOW 16 256 0 7 15 1.6667 AI A1 XBW 21 256 0 10 20 1.25 AI A1 HT1 11 208 0 6 13 1.9231 AI A1 HT2 11 208 0 6 13 1.9231 Amazon attack speed Code Mode Wclass FramesPerDirection AnimationSpeed StartingFrame ActionFlagFrames Attack cycle length Attack cycles per second AM A1 HTH 13 256 1 8 11 2.2727 AM A1 1HS 16 256 2 10 13 1.9231 AM A1 2HS 20 256 2 12 17 1.4706 AM A1 1HT 15 256 2 9 12 2.0833 AM A1 2HT 18 256 2 11 15 1.6667 AM A1 STF 20 256 2 12 17 1.4706 AM A1 BOW 14 256 0 6 13 1.9231 AM A1 XBW 20 256 0 9 19 1.3158 Barbarian attack speed Code Mode Wclass FramesPerDirection AnimationSpeed StartingFrame ActionFlagFrames Attack cycle length Attack cycles per second BA A1 HTH 12 256 0 6 11 2.2727 BA A1 1HS 16 256 0 7 15 1.6667 BA A1 2HS 18 256 0 8 17 1.4706 BA A1 1HT 16 256 0 7 15 1.6667 BA A1 2HT 19 256 0 9 18 1.3889 BA A1 STF 19 256 0 9 18 1.3889 BA A1 BOW 15 256 0 7 14 1.7857 BA A1 XBW 20 256 0 10 19 1.3158 BA A1 1JS 16 256 0 7 15 1.6667 BA A1 1JT 16 256 0 7 15 1.6667 BA A1 1SS 16 256 0 7 15 1.6667 BA A1 1ST 16 256 0 7 15 1.6667 Druid attack speed Code Mode Wclass FramesPerDirection AnimationSpeed StartingFrame ActionFlagFrames Attack cycle length Attack cycles per second DZ A1 HTH 16 256 0 8 15 1.6667 DZ A1 1HS 19 256 0 9 18 1.3889 DZ A1 2HS 21 256 0 10 20 1.2500 DZ A1 1HT 19 256 0 8 18 1.3889 DZ A1 2HT 23 256 0 9 22 1.1364 DZ A1 STF 17 256 0 9 16 1.5625 DZ A1 BOW 16 256 0 8 15 1.6667 DZ A1 XBW 20 256 0 10 19 1.3158 Necromancer attack speed Code Mode Wclass FramesPerDirection AnimationSpeed StartingFrame ActionFlagFrames Attack cycle length Attack cycles per second NE A1 HTH 15 256 0 8 14 1.7857 NE A1 1HS 19 256 0 9 18 1.3889 NE A1 2HS 23 256 0 11 22 1.1364 NE A1 1HT 19 256 0 9 18 1.3889 NE A1 2HT 24 256 0 10 23 1.0870 NE A1 STF 20 256 0 11 19 1.3158 NE A1 BOW 18 256 0 9 17 1.4706 NE A1 XBW 20 256 0 11 19 1.3158 Paladin attack speed Code Mode Wclass FramesPerDirection AnimationSpeed StartingFrame ActionFlagFrames Attack cycle length Attack cycles per second PA A1 HTH 14 256 0 7 13 1.9231 PA A1 1HS 15 256 0 7 14 1.7857 PA A1 2HS 18 256 0 8 17 1.4706 PA A1 1HT 17 256 0 8 16 1.5625 PA A1 2HT 20 256 0 8 19 1.3158 PA A1 STF 18 256 0 9 17 1.4706 PA A1 BOW 16 256 0 8 15 1.6667 PA A1 XBW 20 256 0 10 19 1.3158 Sorceress attack speed Code Mode Wclass FramesPerDirection AnimationSpeed StartingFrame ActionFlagFrames Attack cycle length Attack cycles per second SO A1 HTH 16 256 1 9 14 1.7867 SO A1 1HS 20 256 2 12 17 1.4706 SO A1 2HS 24 256 2 14 21 1.1905 SO A1 1HT 19 256 2 11 16 1.5625 SO A1 2HT 23 256 2 13 20 1.2500 SO A1 STF 18 256 2 11 15 1.6667 SO A1 BOW 17 256 0 9 16 1.5625 SO A1 XBW 20 256 0 11 19 1.3158 Barrel kicking Code Mode Wclass FramesPerDirection AnimationSpeed StartingFrame ActionFlagFrames Attack cycle length Attack cycles per second AI KK STF 13 256 0 4 12 2.0833 AM KK 2HT 12 256 0 5 11 2.2727 BA KK XBW 12 256 0 4 11 2.2727 DZ KK 2HT 12 256 0 5 11 2.2727 NE KK STF 12 256 0 6 11 2.2727 PA KK XBW 12 256 0 5 11 2.2727 SO KK 1HS 12 256 0 6 11 2.2727 Effective Increased Attack Speed EIAS refers to a percentage modifier to the attack animation playback rate. Increased Attack Speed stats from equipment and items are added up and transformed into an quantity of EIAS. EIAS = floor((120 * IAS) / (120 + IAS)) IAS = ceiling(120 * EIAS / (120 - EIAS)) Necessary EIAS = Target EIAS - Skill EIAS + WSM Some attack speed tables indicate quantities of EIAS that are needed to reach certain speed thresholds, given the assumptions listed with the table. From your target EIAS, subtract any quantities of EIAS from skills. This can come in the form of Skills that increase your attack speed such as Burst of Speed and Fanaticism and curses that slow your attack speed like Decrepify. Attack speed increasers have a positive EIAS while speed decreasers have a negative EIAS. From that amount, add your weapon speed modifier (WSM). -If you are single wielding, your weapon speed modifier is your weapon's WSM. -If you are dual wielding and the weapon in your left inventory slot is your main weapon, your weapon speed modifier is (LeftWSM + RightWSM) / 2. -If you are dual wielding and the weapon in your right inventory slot is your main weapon, your weapon speed modifier is (LeftWSM + RightWSM) / 2 - LeftWSM + RightWSM. The resulting value is your Necessary EIAS. This is the amount of speed increase you need to make up with the IAS from your equipment. If its value is negative, you don't need any additional IAS from your equipment. If it is positive, look up this value in the table below to get the amount of IAS you'll need to have in order to reach the Target EIAS.
