Fastest speed of vengeance? whats the frame rate for the fastest vengeance hit and how much ias is required?
The fastest Vengeance attack speed is 8 frames. How much IAS you need, depends on your weapon and aura. This calculator will help: http://diablo2.ingame.de/tips/calcs/weaponspeed.php?lang=english
the calculator doesnt show vengeance. and also i would like to know how conviction affects defense...
Vengeance is pretty much a "normal" attack. Conviction lowers an enemies Defense Rating by the precentage listed: http://www.battle.net/diablo2exp/skills/paladin-offense.shtml#conviction So if an enemy has 1,000 defense rating, a slvl 20 conviction will reduce it by 90%, to 100 (1,000 * [1 - 0.9] = 1,000 * 0.1 = 100).
no because i tested it on my friend who had 12000 defense. and after conviction he had like 11000. with like a lvl 3 conviction...
I don't think there is a PvP penalty for Conviction lower defense effect. A slvl 3 conviction should reduce his DR by 61% to 4680. There might be a display problem, I know one existed for the lower resistance effect. Sorry about the "slacker" crack.
theres also issues with skills like cloak of shadows, which might say it "reduces defense by 30%" or whatever, but when used against high defense characters it only amounts to like 800 defense...
I suspect that conviction's -def effect is at half when used in PvP, same as other -def items. which means a high lvl conviction only basically doubles your AR, not make it x9 or something similar in PvP.
% Defense and -% defense are added together. So if he was using holy shield or defiance you would add the %'s together, then multiply that times his base to find his new defense.
