Act 2 vs Act 5 merc?

Re: Act 2 vs Act 5 merc?

?

German calc shows me, at 0 WSM no IAS, an 8 frame Jab (2 hits per Jab) for A2 merc vs a 16 frame attack for the A5 merc. Which means the A2 merc is actually landing 4 times as many blows over time.

I'm using this calculator: http://diablo3.ingame.de/tips/calcs/speedcalc_titanseal/speedcalc_english.php

None of the barb merc's attacks seem to have 16 fpa. The Barb merc appears (with 0 WSM) to have 15 frames per cycle for any attack (he has 3), and when he uses normal attack, it's 7.5 frames per attack since there are two strikes in the cycle.

The Act 2 merc has a 14 frame jab cycle, which is 7 fpa. This is all assuming that the calc I am using is correct. Also, you're misinterpreting the number of blows landed by the act 2 merc. The fpa is the fpa, not the frames per cycle.

Thought I should mention that a barb mercs attack does hit twice, don't know if your calc if factoring that in.

That should be figured into the calc's numbers.
