1h weapon speed

[kash1]

After a couple days of testing this, how is it working out?

- Noticeable difference in 1h Damage Output?
- Does the increased animation speed end up looking off (ie: too fast/silly?)
- Can tanks keep hate off dual wielders with their increased hit count?
- Is Stam/HP drain out of control?
- Any other observations anyone would care to make?

I am relly interested to see what's happening with this. Feedback from those who can test it would be awesome.

Anyone can test it really, ATS is open to all. Even with level 51 skills you can test it to a degree in terms of HP/Stam drain etc.

Perhaps me and Sashy will have to go check it out some more.

I'm not sure that it's open to trial accounts, Nilly.

- Damage output over time is obviously faster; especially with daggers. 20 hits a minute more means damage by daggers is increased by half. (given you have max speed daggers and don't miss a single attack ofcourse)
- It looks just a bit off for daggers; at 60 hpm it almost seems at times that the animation is interupted at the last instance due to the next animation starting off.
- They could already actually, well given you don't have several healing monkeys spamming for the slightest in the back.
- They seem to have tweaked credit use; I was expecting to bleed dry before I finished an opponent which did not happen. As a matter of fact, I seemed to use way less credits with the additional speed than I would now at a capped speed of 36-37.

All tests done with maxed speed daggers only. So if anyone else has experiences with regular kind of onehanders ...

Thank you for the replies.

@Calel, those are exactly the types of observations I'm looking for. When I used to play I had 150 or so (If I'm not mistaken) Dagger skill. I usually ran around with 2 of them (Thanks, Rushin).

- Good, more damage is something I expected.
- Is it off enough where you might suggest slowing them down and increasing their base damage to compensate?
- Cool, never any good turning into the tank when you aren't equipped to be.
- I'm glad to hear that they planned for that and adjusted credit usage. Did they just go ahead and make Daggers 0 Malus or are they still 10 (Or whatever they are/used to be)?

I'd love to test stuff but I don't know about reactivating my account just yet. I told myself I would not for reasons I'm sure no one cares for me to explain. If I can test with a trial account though, let me know.

Ahh didn't realise OP was on a trial account. Sorry!
