Thanks for the thoughts. I tracked down the 'Hungry Hunter' thread here. Very interesting observations on Hunger speeds, and I am tempted to try out gloves with fire arrow charges some time just for kicks. The Hunger speeds tested seemed to come out generally 1 frame faster than normal attacks, at least in the 6-10 frame attack range. I'll be plopping a point onto hunger just out of the principle of being a speed addict.
I'm quite familiar with Dragoon's guides for wereforms, best IAS references for wereform out there, although I already had an excel spreadsheet that gets similar information based on one of the formulas brought up here at LL more than a year ago (probably one trying to match IAS/WIAS inputs to observed data). The two handed -10 base chart on Dragoon's bear guide doesn't go down to 120 WIAS (stops at 80 - probably because that's the max for cruel X of quickness with 2 sockets), but I calculated (and observed) a 4 frame attack on a 6 shael champion axe with a small amount of external IAS (at least 25 if I recall).
I had a successful werebear on an account I let lapse while taking about a year long break from D2 - he used Highlords and Gore Rider for that nice deadly strike. This time around I have the option of using an Atma's scarab (haven't found a Highlords and I'm trade currency poor so it isn't likely in the short term) - and I will naturally use some gloves get the 20% external IAS to push the Shael Buriza to the next breakpoint.
