==Breakpoints==
Diablo 2 runs at 25 frames per second and events cannot occur in timeframes smaller than a single frame, so improvements to animation speeds (from IAS, FCR, FHR, FBR, or FBRIAS) are only realized in intervals of 1 frame or more. These intervals are called breakpoints.
 
For example, a Sorceress with +100% FCR will cast "normal" spells in 9 frames (9/25 = 0.36 seconds). In order to cast those spells faster, she will need +5% more FCR for a total of +105% FCR, at which point she will cast those spells in 8 frames (8/25 = 0.32 seconds) instead.
 
'''Weapon Types'''
* Missile Weapons: bows, crossbows
* Thrusting Weapons: spears, javelins, daggers, throwing knives
* Swinging Weapons: everythingall elseother non-ranged weapons (except claws which have their own category)
