I have an eth upped ribcracer (zod). How much more IAS would I need to hit my 4 fps that I so desire?

In bear or wolf form, only weapon ias counts (except with very slow weapons). So you can't do much aside from removing the zod and adding a shael and breaking your weapon. With a sheal, you'd hit 5 fpa fury. I'm guessing you are at 6 now. Check Dragoons calculator from links at top.

God I want an upped zod'ed 'craker!!! You will never hit 4 frames with it but it is fast enough and hits hard enough to make up for it!!

I recently traded for a nearly perfect ethereal Ribcracker too. Can use some help with gear/skills selection, as I've never had a furywolf before. Well I hope you guys have the patience to read all this. Thanks!


Info from IAS-calculator
Character: Druid
Weapon: Stalagmite
Skill: Werewolf - Fury
Werewolf: Level 20
50% W-IAS will give a 6 FPA / 4.1 attack per second fury-attack. It also says "further IAS useless", which means that I don't need additional IAS from other items?


Skills
Werewolf: 20
Fury: 20
Lycantrophy: 20
Heart of Wolverine: 20

Hunger: (needed?)
Feral Rage: (how many?)
Grizzly: (I'd like to have one, 1 point and +skills good enough or would it be a waste of points?)


Items
Ribcracker
Arkaine's Valor (+2 all skills)
Jalal's Mane (+2 all skills - +2 shapeshift skills)
String of Ears
Dracul's Grasp
Gore Riders
shapeshift amulet/Mara's Kaleidoskope (+3 shapeshift/+2 all skills)
Bul Kathos' (+1 all skills)
Raven Frost

On switch: Gimmershred/Azurewrath and Tiamat's Rebuke (for physical immunes)


Merc
Holy freeze merc (when choosing Heart of Wolverine Spirit)
Might merc (when choosing Heart of the Oak Spirit)


NOTE: it's for PvM
NOTE 2: if you think the Ribcracker is better to use on a Barbarian, please do comment.

thanks,
Goldie

Hi Goldstriker!

Yes ribcracker doesn't need IAS from gear(OIAS) on a werewolf.
You don't need hunger since feral rage is better(can be used with fury) and feral is good with 1 point and +skills.
Heart of wolverine isn't as useful on a pure fury wolf as with other builds since with the maxed werewolf and maxed fury your attack rating will be more than enough for PvM. I'd suggest you either max oak or do a hybrid and max rabies(requires carrion wind ring) and leave oak sage at 1 point.
Your gear is good although you could use a better armor, like a fortitude runeword for example.

I know next to nothing about barbarians but I think they use swords, axes, maces etc, not staffs since they don't have a mastery for them.

thanks for the replies people. So, i guess this means that i should focus on my hit power when using that weapon. mmmm fortitude.
