Sprint RLTW (Tornado) tick frequency mechanics

I don't like ww&sprint builds as I allready wrote, but I like the math behind this skills.

There you get all detailed information about this topic. I will only summarize the core of this topic. This topic is very important if you upgrading your weapons or your gear to check if it's an real upgrade.

Very Important:
Tornadoes do 20% main hand weapon damage per tick.
When dual-wielding, tornado tick frequency depends on the attacks per second (aps) of the last weapon swing before using Sprint.

A simplified overview about Sprint RLTW (Tornado) tick frequency

Ticks	aps
9	0,90000
10	1,00000
11	1,11112
12	1,17648
13	1,33334
14	1,42858
15	1,53847
16	1,66667
18	1,81819
20	2,00001
23	2,22223
26	2,50001
30	2,85742
36	3,33334
45	4,00001
60	5,00001
90	6,66667

Ticks = total number of ticks over 3 seconds of 1 tornado
aps = Attacks Per Second value

You have to calculate your attacks per second value manually as the ingame character screen is rounding the values and can be misleading when applied to this chart.

Attacks per second formula = ((base weapon aps * weapon IAS) + (attacks per second from legendaries and enchantress)) * (gear IAS + skill IAS + dual wield IAS)

Note:
Enchantress's aura only adds 0.03 attacks per second, instead of 3% ias in the tooltip.


Example to calculate APS and Tick frequency

MH: Echoing Fury 1,2 aps + 023 attacks per second
OH: Sword 1,4 aps

Follower Enchantress
12% gear ias
15% dual wield ias

without Berserker
MH: 1,2 + 0,23 + 0,03 = 1,46 * 1,27 = 1,8542 => 18 ticks
OH:  1,4 + 0,23 + 0,03 = 1,66 * 1,27 = 2,1082 => 20 ticks

with Berserker
MH 1,46 * 1,52 = 2,2192 => 20 ticks
OH 1,66 * 1,52 = 2,5232 => 26 ticks

Conclusion:
MH with Berserker - 2,2192 aps is very close to the next breakpoint 23 ticks with 2,22223 aps.
how much more ias on gear do we need to increase our ticks with berserker?

2,22223 / 1,46 =  1,522 => 1,522 - 1,52 = 0,02
=>1%  more ias on gear would be enough


Now we have only calculated our tornado tick frequency, but if you want to compare different weapons or switching weapons, we must calculate the weapon damage.

Therefore and for the tick frequency calculation you can use this online calculator http://www.d3rawr.com/
