ok, i've seen this discussed several times and i dont know the answer.

is it better to have a high or low attack speed?

example. I have a blaster that does 20-42 damage with 4.5 speed and a different blaster that does same damage with 4.6 speed. which is better?

I assume that the same thing is true for animals

Low, that is the delay between attacks in seconds.

The lower the attack speed the better....

An interesting side note to this is, with weapon powerups, it gets a bit unintutive. When you are looking at an attack speed powerup, the higher the number the better.

that's what i thought, same thing applied in EQ. I guess someone was either being sarcastic or a griefer when they told me the other way

Hey i was just wondering...
If the attack speed is lower, is it better? Or should it be higher?

its kind of a nOOb question but i was just wondering, i never took the Speed of a weapon into account.

Lower is better

Working up ther unarmed line now, decided to get TKA, so that when I try to sample things on Dath, and they aggro, I can at least have SOME chance to survive. Anywho, for a TKM, is it possible to:

A) With a VK equipped, have a high enough total speed mod (skill tapes/motors included) so that you could launch any special witht he max speed of 1.0? If so, how much of this would likely have to be done with skill tapes?

B) Is it even possible to do this without VKs?

I also realize that if I was to do this, launch specials at 1.0 speed, my HAM would be eaten so fast, I could kill myself faster than a Carbineer! But seriously, any help on this topic would be greatly appreciated.

My advice

Use Breath of Heaven (Drink)
and
Ryshcate (Food)

YOu can get like +800-900 to your str, quick, focus

Then you can spam all the specials you want.

Specials really aren't the problem here, the question is a pure speed based one. I know that in theory this is technically possible, btu you would have to have a VK with an effective speed of .2 or some such thing.

w/ master power techniques and a 2.2 vk--I guarantee i hit w/ unarmedhit2 once a second

i know the same is true w/ TKM and /unarmedhit3
