[-20]
Start with the base attack speed, and subtract the ias from the weapon and any equipment to figure out your attack speed. Every 20% increase equals a
-20% in each swings time.
Of course, IAS gets complex to figure with each class's varying weapon speeds, and skills. A search of the forums should lead you to a few different IAS calculators for all classes.

If thats true everyone would get 99% IASEvery 20% increase equals a
-20% in each swings time.
The base is still [0], you just get 20% more IAS, like if you equipped a Highlord's Wrath, unless you are using Fury or Whirlwind skills. For Whirwind, it would count as a [-20], and for Fury, WIAS is just far more effective than OIAS.
The attack speed changes at certain breakpoints, determined by the skill used and/or the character class doing it. Check the Barbarian forum sticky for a very good Weapon Speed Calculator.

no the IAS from gear/sheal/jewels needs to first be converted into the same value as the wpn base speeds.l-ater said:1. How does IAS work? If you have a weapon with say a base of [0] and you put in a shael which is 20% IAS does that make the new speed [-10] or [-20]?
sheal/jewel/gear +%ias = +%IAS (this needs to be converted into EIAS)
weapon base speed (wsm) = -%EIAS (so -20 wsm is like +20%eias)
bos/fanata = +%EIAS
all gear ias goes through a dimishing formula to be converted INTO EIAS
EIAS = (120*IAS)/(120+IAS)
=
120*20%/120+20% =
2400%/140% = 17% EIAS; in otherwords if u have ONLY 20%ias that becomes 17% EIAS
if u where to make a weapon contribute this same 17%EIAS its wpn speed would be need to be [-17]wsm
incase u want another example;
a [-30]wsm contributes 30%EIAS
a [20] wsm contributes -20%EIAS
and if u had lets say 200% gear ias thats contributing
= (120*200%)/(120+200%)
= 75% EIAS
You are correct. Everyone please disregard my newbishness.F1R3STR1D3R said:If thats true everyone would get 99% IAS
