Attack speed cheese build

Here's a quick video of my using rain of arrows and frenzy with this build. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTAdEt2yjl0&feature=youtu.be
My attack speed is at ~9 attacks per second in the video.
I suggest dropping this idea and deleting the char )
Might be fun for a while, but this is a time waste in the end.
From what I've seen in the vid, you need like 10 seconds to kill a common white enemy in a party of 4.

What I've learned with my 62 lvl duelist using Cleave, is that going for frenzy charges and max attack speed is pretty much pointless once monsters start to hit hard enough, which is around Act II merc.
You start to wish that all the points you spent on frnzy/speed were spent on more armor/hp instead...

Do you understand what a cheese build is? I'm building this for fun and it is fun. Why would I delete my char anyways? You get like 20 character slots.
I've seen a build in other sections using that bow and explosive arrow. Might be something to look at.
btw, if you really aim at having a freakin lot of attack speed, use viper strike for bosses, it's really useful.
SSF is not and will never be a standard for balance, it is not for people entitled to getting more without trading.

This is a bow build, viper strike is NOT for a bow.
Thank you captain obvious !

GL taking a boss solo with an only ATK bow build !
viper strike scales very well on IAS and is very good against bosses while being solo. He has a lot of IAS, i'm giving a tip, you're just being useless.

What would be the benefit of using viper strike? Haven't used it before.
take a shield and a 1h weapon, hit the boss 4 times, and run in circles around him ( with whirling blade for example ) while you watch it's life decreasing.
After like 3~4 seconds, hit it again to refresh the 4 stacks, etc ....

You can basically dodge almost everything from Brutus quite easily that way for example, I'm kinda farming him in merci with almost only +Icrease Qty and Increase Rarity stuff ( so not much life etc ... ), and it goes really easy with a lvl 55 char.
It is very very uesful against general Gravicius, because the poison is chaos dmg and goes through energy shield.
If you can find a weapon with +level melee gem, ti will hurt even more.
since you have a lot of IAS, hiting 4 times shoudln't be a problem, but if you are scared of the boss, you can hit twice, run a bit, hit twice and there you have the 4 stacks.

That's the easiest way I have ever seen/done to kill bosses in solo yet.
So, take a viper strike gem, and if you have problems fighting a boss one day, think about it :)).
