Okay. If there is someone that can show me documentation I would greatly appreciate it, but not required. What is the maximum speed you can swing archery weapons?? 1.25 or 1.5? I am having discussion with a guildmate and swear that they set the max speed for ranged weapons (archery) at 1.5 no matter how much stam/dex but he is swearing that it is 1.25. I think the math can be done to get 1.25, but I thought they put in a hard cap a few years back that set it at 1.5. Did they recently remove that cap and set it to 1.25 again?
All weapons are capped at a maximum of 1 swing every 1.25 seconds. This hasnt changed in a very long time. The only new twist to it all is that with reforging and shame loot 210 stamina & 60% swing speed increase are achievable. The swing speed formula was posted by a Dev forever ago but just use one of the many calculators available... OR tinker with templates enough that you cant forget it...LoL
SOUL GLAIVE = 4 sec swing speed.
1) Multiply by 4 to covert to "tics" (1/4 sec increments) Glaive = 16 Tics
2) Subtract 1 Tic for every 30 stamina (210 stamina = -7 Tics. 16-7 = 9 Tics (aka 2.25 sec swing delay)
3) Account for Ssi. Take your number from line 2 (9 Tics) & multiply by .... 100 / 100 + Ssi & ROUND DOWN.
60 SSI EXAMPLE.....
9 * (100 / 100 + 60) = 5.625 Tics ROUNDED DOWN to 5 Tics ( aka swing speed cap) Theres how you get a max swing 4 sec weapon....
