So really, only about 1 - 1.5k more is possible, and requires gear that people don't have as well as sacrifices that aren't worth it.
(Also bear in mind I gain 400 from aofc, but it wasn't on in this pic, and there's 700 from FA buffs, which also weren't on.)
My force archer hit 13.5-ish in bm2/aura with aos, so that's nearly 16k with pot. However, that's force archer who gets essentially a free gmaster passive's worth of attack rate from bow, and has more dex. And that's with attack rate buffs.
Edit: I am fully aware my accuracy is lacking, by the way. That's a little harder to obtain within my gear constraints though. :P
