Thanks man!

[robinro]

but since the the biggest 2h-swords are a lot slower now you may use 1h now i presume?
there is no reason to use a flamberge anymore since flamberge and greatsword have the same WSM now. (and great sword has higher dmg)

[shnurr214]

i always did 1h + shield anyways. You get a lot of utility from some of the good endgame shields for an uber cheap option

The Flying Saucer

the amount of clearspeed you gain from flying saucer allows you to just fly through uberlevels.

i tested using flamberge with various xis setups in sp but still ended up going 1h+shield

[robinro]

war sword is now the one with the best base dmg and the best WSM for 1h options but you miss out a few slots for IAS jewels....

but if you dont hit a breakpoint with those it doesnt matter

The parameters in the spreadsheet are not up to date for 2017. I'll upload a fixed version soon.

Updated breakpoints

[cowking]

There are similar behaviors with dual-weilding, where IAS on weapon seems to have some kind of special effect, its just more hardcoded art by Blizzard.

Can we get some clarification for this?
