For instance, an unmodified D2 Barbarian swung an unmodified one-handed weapon at 7 frames per second. He required 9 [[IAS]] (increased attack speed) to drop down to 6 frames, 20 IAS for 5 frames, 42 IAS for 4 frames, 86 IAS for 3 frames, and 280 IAS for 2 frames. 1 frame was not possible. So a Barbarian at 20-41 IAS was at 5 frames. Not until he reached 42 IAS did the speed of his attack become one frame quicker.
