Faster Hit Recovery

What is hit recovery?

  • In Diablo 2 "hit recovery" is an animation that triggers when you get hit by something for 1/12th of your maximum hp.

  • This animation takes a certain amount of frames.

  • Every frame is roughly 0.04 seconds since Diablo 2 gives us a maximum of 25 frames/sec.

 

The basis number of frames needed varies between the chars:

  • Amazon: 11

  • Assassin: 9

  • Barbarian: 9

  • Druid: 13

  • Necromancer: 13

  • Paladin: 9

  • Sorceress: 15

 

Now the item affix "Faster hit recovery" comes into play.

 

Where can we get "Faster hit recovery" from?

It's an affix you can find on:

  • Runeword Stealth "Tal Eth" - We will always build this so we have 25% guaranteed.

  • Boots

  • Belts

  • Shields

  • Helmets

 

These items can be shopped from the vendors from lvl 1 and cost around 1000 Gold.

Remember that potions are more important if you are low on money!

 

Every char has certain FHR-breakpoints. Every breakpoint takes off 1 frame from the hit recovery animation. Doesn't sound like much but when you get more experienced you will see that it is noticable)
