Strikes per second numbers question

I would like to ask the build-brain-trust what they think the best heroic build has the highest number of strikes per second? Damage doesn't matter, effects don't matter just the pure number of possible hits per second for a melee build.

Gosh I thought at least one of the big brains would cough these numbers right up. Good news is that I'll try, bad news I don't have much experience benchmarking.

In the meantime, I'm open to any advice on how to investigate.

Not a definitive answer (far from it), but it provides a basic skeleton and includes additional links to various tests over the years. Many things also changed over the years...

Great! My experience is in thrown attack speeds, and I find the best way is to just record video, and count swings in Slow Motion.

You trying to come up with a viable melee zombie build post nerfs? LOL.

It doesn't matter really. Nerf after nerf after nerf, the message is crystal clear.
Devs hate zombie builds and don't want them to be viable Tongue

Oh, I never ran a zombie before, I heard they were fun. What got me thinking about strikes per min was actually the  new Shortsword, "Willbreaker". I looted two mythic ones and it got me thinking about it.

Like every group, there are schlubs and there are stars, and a lot in between. Pick your cause and I can say the same thing about the associated group.

It would be unBEARable.

Thanks for help peoples, I"m slowly working my way through tests.

I had hoped to be able to set up a character who reduce mobs to helpless by whacking their wisdom to zero, but with the overall powercreep I keep killing them before I can!  Grin  I guess it's a pretty flawed concept, but the strikes per minute is still really interesting problem.

it should be as simple as:

Getting an accurate timing of how long your character takes to do the full 4 swing animation
Adding up all your doublestrike and offhand strike percentages to get a total % value for number of strikes (1+100 Doublestrike + 100% Offhand Strike + 40% Offhand Doublestrike = 340% or 3.4 hits per swing animation).

If your swing animation take 1.5 seconds to complete, then you just divide (3.4*4 swings per animation)/1.5 = 9 Strikes per second
