The only reliable method I know of to get a 2 or 3 frame attack is strafe, and even then I'm not sure it isn't just an arrow spawning every 2 frames (as opposed to an animation getting sped up that much).
I'm also very curious about a 100% IAS demon crossbow with hunger. A long time ago on LL (before it shut down for a while) I vaguely recall people were observing that a normal bear attack wouldn't reach a 4 frame attack with a 100% IAS demon crossbow (different base attack issue?). I could be wrong about that. It sure would be nice to get my 4 frame attack with a weapon that takes advantage of my pumped dexterity. Fairly sure 2 or 3 frames is out of the question for bears and wolves.
Dragoon - thanks for the speed by feel guide. :D You're probably right about it being 7maul/6hunger. I may have to hit the lightning spires in hell again. It's the gore rider CB and elemental damage doing most of the work anyway, so the wide physical min/max gap and the 75% damage penalty shouldn't interfere too much. An average of times over ~20 spires each should give me a rough sense of whether I'm seeing a 16.7% increase (6 frame hunger) or a 40% increase (5 frame hunger).
