Wereform Attack Speed Formula

[Dagni]

That SHOULD mean (note should, I havent checked this) that if a Barbarian receives Fanat from a friendly Paladin, his attack rate should be:

attack rate_new = attack rate old + frenzy boost ; first do frenzy speedup

Then the fanat bonus kicks in as:

attack rate_new = attack rate_old + (attack rate_old * fanat %)

So let's see if I understand this correctly. First off, Fanaticism is always applied after other skills, not just Frenzy? If so, then the practical effect could be summed up like this (?)

Speed Increase = (100 +)** [120 * item_ias / (120 + item ias)] + skill ias + wsm + [fanat ias*(wsm + non-fanat skill ias)/100]

**Doesn't make any practical difference if you add the 100 now, or in the other formula, as long as you change the cap (75 or 175) as appropriate.

With that final piece in bold being the only difference from normal. So, for example, with a 20% faster base weapon (wsm = 20), and +25% fanaticism, instead of +45 speed increase, or 145 total speed, you'd get 150 total speed (+ 20*25/100 = +5).

p.s. What is the animation length for Hunger/Rabies for the Werewolf, and Hunger for the Werebear? Oh, and Fury if it has its own animation.
