Should I reset my Inner Ability?

Hey guys, I was aiming for +1 attack speed, or buff duration (obviously attack speed would be the most useful, but I really hate redoing buffs especially with decent si/se on my gloves!). But on my 20th circ or so I got +20% item drop rate and then 2 bad lines beneath it.

So...should I keep going for +1 atk speed? Or just stick with decent si/mpe green pots? Also, if I save honor to lock the drop rate line, is it possible to get buff duration as a 2nd line? I'm almost positive you can't get +1 atk speed on anything but the top line or I'd still aim for that. Any advice is appreciated!

I mainly just use my perm hyper rock to tele around bossing so I feel like item drop is almost too good to pass up, but I love attacking fast, stupid slow nate :X

So if my googling is correct, a faf dagger and no buffs puts me at attack speed (3). Booster would drop it to 1, but the soft cap is 2. So booster to 2, Green MPE pot to 1, DSI to 0. Does that mean I don't need attack speed at all? I did see a few topics saying you could go below 0 with the MPE pots but they were a bit dated.

[quote=Braddigan]Well, I don't need crit rate (phantom/beast link+flip the coin+crit explorer ring from back in the day+dse give me 100%). I guess I should research if +1 atk speed work with both DSI and the MPE Green pots. If it works with them, great, if it can take the place of one and save me farming green pots on alts, great XD.[/quote]

You still need green pots because that's the only thing that lets you bypass the soft speed cap. Attack speed is then hard capped at 0, which you cannot go faster than (I have tested this myself).

So tempting, but l would hold on to 20% drop rate for a while.
Recirculate it when you save a BUNCH of points.

Keep the drop rate for now. Untill you got money to blow go for attack speed. i recently got attack speed after 352 circulators. i past 5 times 30 attack, 2 times 30% crit, 5 times boss 20%, 3 times buff duration, 2 times multi hit count, and 2 times drop rate. i stayed with 30 attack for a long time until the sale on circulators yesterday and lost 100k range but worth it for attack speed. i also did pass many attack per level.

I think you should reset. You should be aiming for what you said you were, or even 30% crit. Even 30atk is a better investment.

+1 attack speed at higher att speed adds less att speed than adding 1 att speed at lower att speed.
i.e. as u get higher att speed it becomes less and less relevant

If you're not doing anything that requires you attacking faster (ie: you can handle all the bosses you do fine) then keep drop for now

Keep the drop. You can get buff duration on the second line, but it won't be 50%, it will be closer to 20% buff. But in my opinion 20% drop and 20ish%buff duration far outclasses +1 attack speed

Keep going for +1 attack speed. It's rare, but possible.
When you get it, it's the best feeling in the world.

You can't get a legendary line in the 2nd and 3rd line. Pictures of people with legendary lines in the 2nd lines are from the azwan circs.

I'd say keep the % drop rate, the highest i've seen is epic ia 10% drop rate. Anyways it'll be good when you do bossing since most solo cra people tend to borrow or rent %drop items and they're only 15-20% drop rate per line.
As for the lines thing, i don't know if the attack speed is only on the first line. For me i have buff on the first line and a bit of %meso on the 3rd line

I believe that IA doesn't stack with familiars or something like that. Someone confirm please?
