Fastest possible attack speed in game?

I made this experimental build focused on bow with all possible attack speed passives and maximum boost I can get is 103% increased Attack Speed and 28% increased Attack Speed with Bows according to Build Summary (131% total).

With this build:

and right equip:


you can reach 310% increased attack speed which is (with base 1.55 APS) 4,8 attacks per second! If you want to use it with skill you can use max level, max quality Faster Attacks (+54%)= 5,64 APS


And finally Frenzy (7 max charges) + Faster Attacks:

525% = 8,14 APS

This is probably fastest possible attack speed you can reach with bows (you can only get extra 5% on full health with Ondar's Clasp unique).

What do you guys think about this build, is it useful, can you get higher APS with for example double Brightbeak and multistrike?

haste?

Well first off...

Second, you forgot Haste for even more attack speed.
And lastly, I think your math may be off a bit because my Duelist with only a few attack speed nodes and 3 Frenzy charges reached more than 10 aps with Faster Attacks-Multistrike-Flicker Strike on Dual Brightbeaks at level 50, and I can't imagine that's actually faster than what you've made here. The tooltip said .09 attack time, and Ive heard people claim as low as .06

I don't think it's possible anymore, but I remember someone breaking 14aps during closed beta. I'll see if I can find the original thread with the video, it was pretty funny.

Yea.. so I've been thinking about redoing my Quill Rain APS build, in fact I was just looking at it last night.

Here's my old thread: 15.38 Attacks per Second . And here's my thoughts on the build..

Using a new passive build I came up with to account for the changes to the Ranger tree, and no I will not share it because it takes into account the Diamond unique that I have yet to create, at Lvl 72 I have 142% combined attack speed from the passive tree(it's not possible to gain anymore than that for bow users). Add in Kraytin's 8% Attack Speed and that becomes 150%.

Using Quill Rain alone that becomes 3.11*2.5 = 7.775 APS

Now, utilizing certain gear (which may or may not be the gear I would personally use once I design my own unique)..

Two 7% Attack Speed rings = 14%
Death's Oath = 15%
Lochtonial Caress(NOT Ondar's Clasp) = 15%
Blackgleam OR a rare quiver = 10%
Asenath's Mark = 15%

So that's another 69% just from gear alone. Add that to 150% and you get 219%.

3.11*3.19= 9.9209 APS

Now, we need some gems.

Of course if we want the fastest APS, we have to use Frenzy and Blood Rage. That is just obvious. But do we support it with?

20%Q Lvl 20 Frenzy = 18% APS per Charge. 7 Charges = 126% | 8 Charges = 144%
20%Q Blood Rage = 15% (on Low Life)

Supports
20%Q Lvl 20 Faster Attacks = 54%
20%Q Lesser Multi Proj = 10%
20%Q Greater Multi Proj = 10%
20%Q Culling Strike = 10%
20%Q Faster Proj = 10%
20%Q Blood Magic = 15% (on Low Life)

We want max APS and can only use 5 Supports.. so let's just use the 5 highest with 8 charges. That would be another 258%. Added to 219% and that's a whopping 477%.

3.11*5.62 = 17.4782 APS

Hmm.. did I forget anything?

Edit: Shit I forgot the intrinsic 5% Attack Speed per Charge. Well that's another 40% bringing the total to 517%.

3.11*6.17 = 19.1887 APS

Anything else I forgot?

Edit2: Forgot to add Haste so that's another 14% at Lvl 20. Total is 531%.

3.11*6.31 = 19.6241 APS
With Sundance instead of Darkray = 3.11*6.18 = 19.2198

I'd consider this capped at the moment for Quill Rain. Between available gear and passives, it's not possible to go any further.

It looks like you have also forgotten Haste.

D'oh!

Fastest possible attack speed is dual wielding swords.
Multistrike fucks over all ranged attempts to get fast attack speed.

quillrain will never match blightbeak because multi strike is multiplicative 120% speed.


quill rain = 3.00 attack speed.
blightbeak + multistrike = 4.2 base attack speed, dual wield -> 4.6 attack speed.


Dual wield blightbeak has 50% more attacks per second than quillrain normally.

If you use double strike then it's 3x more "swings" per second.

Legitimately or on local? Because there is no cap on IAS.
