49 lld kicksin idea

[Bash_]

Questions:

1) Do kicks draw durability from your offhand? (or even your primary?)

2) If i was to use a rare fools suwayyah with 20 ias, i would have a WSM of -15, and therefore require 60 ias besides the innate 20% for both 9 frame trapping, and 7 frame kick right?

(those 60 ias would come from valks, and an ias/jewel crow caw)

Another question, would faceting my bartucs(which is to be my offhand) work on venom?

For the IAS question, use the calculator that Xepo made on Jsp. It's great.

For few other things:
You want BoS. There is a difference between skill FRW and item FRW, meaning that you cannot compare them (only the frames). Skill FRW adds way more frames than item FRW.

Just for that you would use BoS, but using BoS clears up all IAS issues _and_ you can use other weapons as well. You can easily make a 100% OW/-10%/10 weapon and have max DR (or at least 45%)

A second bartucs:
- has +2 skills (adding to master, venom & BoS (if you don't prebuff), kicks, claw block, traps),
- has 30 FHR (you need FHR when you switch e.g. for a 120 res armor),
- has 40 stats that don't help you in wearing other equipment, but both add to your kick damage
- pretty low requirement.
- Yes, faceting will help.
- It's for free

Believe me, you don't need that much AR in pubs. When you face a barb, you're dead meat anyways and when you do want to battle him effectively then you might as well switch to angelics.

I think a 08 valk would solve a lot of your problems. I never had one at my disposal since I was playing at ladder, so I never looked into it seriously.

Kicks do take durability from your primary claw. Not sure if that effects both your primary and secondary claw.

Yes, but if i get a claw with just 20 ias(being a greater talon) my ias issues are solved anyway

The problem with bartucs is that i can get a claw with +2 to all, for lvl 42.

How exactly am i going to get 100% OW? Not that i need more than 50%+35%.
