In Diablo 2, stats that affect action speed (known as frames) forattacking, casting, blocking, and recovering from a hit can almost never betaken literally. For example, gaining 10% Increased Attack Speed from an itemwill not necessarily translate into 10% faster attacks. To achieve fasteractions, certain breakpoints must be reached, which vary for every class. Thetables below list how much of a given stat is required to actually improve theaction speed of the class for the stated action.

You can either choose a Defensive ( Holy Freeze) or Offensive( Might) Act 2 Nightmare Mercenary here depending on if you want aslower pace and safety or damage.
