kicking ias/speed confirmation please

So I am building a kicker (was really fun last season), and I just wanted to double check my ias so that I have the right sockets in my gear.

Gear:

COH

Guillames (socket not sure?)

Stormlash (shael prolly)

maras

upd gores

tgods

raven/some mana leech ring

dracs

stormshield (um'd prolly)

(and probably anni/torch)

So I think I am going to socket a shael in my Stormlash. The weapon is -10, +30 ias on weapon, +20ias shael = -60

I believe that this gives me kicks at 8/3 without BoS

With just the shael stormlash, I think i need to use burst of speed (but would rather fade), which even with a level 1 BoS (w/ +skills ~7) should put me at 7/3.

I am mainly trying to figure out a socket for my helm(and shield maybe). Since I plan to uber, I wanna stack res as much as possible, but I would love it if I could get a 7/3 without sacrificing res (fade). For example, if I socketed a 15ias/15@ in both my shield and helm.. is that enough? Just a 15/15 in the helm? etc.

My question is, how much more ias do I need to get 7/3 without BoS? (I did search, and my brain isnt reading ias table today for some reason, and not sure how up to date the info was that I found)

thanks!|||Quote:

IAS doesn't work the way you described. Use the ias tables in the sticky to find needed IAS for 7/3 kicks for any weapon.

Without BoS you'd need 95% IAS (30 (stormlash) + 20 (sheal in stormlash) + 45 from gear).

Without extra IAS on gear, you need lvl 1 BoS if you shael the stormlash, or lvl 3 BoS without the shael.



So basically, you'd need shael in your stormlash, and 3 IAS jewels (shield, helm and armour) to get 7/3 kicks without swapping any gear.|||Quote:

The only time you'll use IAS and WSM like that is for Whirlwind.

With DTalon, WSM stays the same, no matter what IAS you have.



That said, I'd recommend staying at 8/3. The difference isn't big enough to try and get the 95 IAS.|||Quote:

Haha, well a barb is my main right now... using WW so that's probably added to my confusion. Sheesh, I just can't wrap my head around math today. Sigh

Thanks guys.. I guess I will probably stay at 8/3 and if I wanna do the 7/3 then BoS it is.
