Breakpoints

The tables below list minimum Faster Block Rate, Faster Cast Rate and Faster Hit Recovery needed to reduce the number of frames in the respective animation and thus increase its speed. Some breakpoints differ depending on the Necromancer's form.

• Necromancer transforms into a Vampire when he equips full [[D2 Trang-Oul's Avatar|Template:D2 Set bold]].
• Vampire has no blocking animation, so when blocking its hit recovery animation is used instead and thus FHR, not FBR, reduces its length. [1]
