Should I go for a low-ish damage weapon with 10% IAS or a higher damage weapon?

Depends on the build really, higher damage would be better for double tornado but if youve got decent life on hit and youre a tanking build the IAS could be helpful.

I love IAS. I feel stacking it really improves the feel of the game. Some skills prefer higher damage slow items, but I think faster attacks are overall more fun and useful.

Running slower/attacking slower really kills the vibe for me. I agree with Xaero.

Yeh, when I evaluate ias I make sure to factor in the equivalent loh it would give me.
ie. going from 1.5 to 1.65 speed at 1000 loh is like having 100 extra loh at 1.5 speed in terms of life gain. |

It's definitely nice on a weapon, I'd be careful adding too many armor pieces with IAS though depending on your build. For WW barb adding too much IAS could be bad if your crit chance is too low as you'll drain fury a lot more with your actual WW skill. I'm not really sure what the threshold is, but I had to remove a little attack speed when my crit chance was in the 45ish% crit chance. I'm running 52% crit chance buffed right now on a 1.60 overall attack speed and it seems to work really well.
