Phalanx - Bowmen Attack Speed Breakpoints

In order to hit the max 2-Hander breakpoint for Phalanx - Bowmen (18 Frames / 3.33 APS) you will need to meet the following requirements:

(While Akarat's Champion - Hasteful & Laws of Valor are active!)

TnTs = Tasker and Theo

APS = Attacks per Second

40% TnTs + 1.88 APS
41% TnTs + 1.87 APS
42% TnTs + 1.86 APS
43% TnTs + 1.85 APS
44% TnTs + 1.83 APS
45% TnTs + 1.82 APS
46% TnTs + 1.81 APS
47% TnTs + 1.80 APS
48% TnTs + 1.78 APS
49% TnTs + 1.77 APS
50% TnTs + 1.76 APS

CDR

I would recommend you have at least 48-50% CDR for this build.

56.48% is the most CDR you will be able to realistically get. (10 from Paragon, 8 Shoulders, 8 on both Rings, 8 on Shield, & 10 on Weapon, while using a 100% Leoric's Crown with a Diamond)

How much CDR is needed while In-Geom's Power is active

Steed Charge

55.5% CDR for 100% up-time on Steed Charge - Nightmare
33% CDR for 100% up-time on Steed Charge - Endurance

Laws of Valor

50% CDR for 100% up-time on Laws of Valor - Critical

Akarat's Champion

56.48% CDR for 57% up-time on Akarat's Champion - Hasteful (~15 seconds of downtime)

Kanai's Cube GR 65+

This build can push into the High 60's-Low 70's with the following changes:

Weapon - The Furnace
Jewelry - Convention of Elements
