What number of frames is acceptable for ubers?

I'm sitting at 5 frame FHR atm and can't decide if I need to make the jump to 4. Are there any specific ubers where that might be necessary?

Also, what's a good number of block frames for a melee?

Errr.. I know about the breakpoint calc man, and I use it regularly. My question had nothing to do with that. It was more asking how many frames can u get away with in under for block and recovery.

There isn't one answer to your question. It depends on several things including:

Class
Build (+ weapon type)
Block chance
Defense (avoid?) edit: also dr%
Life pool
Current FHR/FBR

Filling in the blanks will help get the right answer for your situation.

Melee nec, scythe, no block, ~450k defense, 9k hp, Current FHR gives me 5 frame recover and I'd need 64% more to reach 4.

My attack is at 7 frames atm.

There's no set BP req for Ubers (except Laz), so if you're doing fine with 5 fpa FHR, then stick with it. But since you're playing a melee build with medium Defense, low Life, and no CtB, aiming for 4 fpa FHR isn't a bad idea.

Go for 4 frames. Hitting 3 frames (600fhr) will be difficult without a skill based speed buff so don't worry about it. Try to reach 6 frame attack speed and make sure you input the weapon speed modifier into the calc for the scythe so you know exactly how much you need to reach it.
