Frenzied Blitz is supposed to increase the attack speed of the pet. I tested this by counting the number of attacks made over a period of time to a single target. Attack speed (or time between attacks) is determined by speed=(hits-1)/time and attack rate determined by 1/speed or rate=time/(hits-1).

Frenzied Blitz test





no training


       143 hits in 309s = 2.176 speed , 0.459 attacks/s


       139 hits in 304s = 2.202 speed , 0.454 attacks/s


       137 hits in 303s = 2.228 speed , 0.449 attacks/s


                                            


               average    2.202 speed   0.454 attacks/s





Frenzied Blitz L1   


       136 hits in 301s = 2.230 speed , 0.449 attacks/s


       150 hits in 327s = 2.195 speed , 0.456 attacks/s


       140 hits in 309s = 2.223 speed , 0.450 attacks/s





               average    2.216 speed   0.452 attacks/s     





Frenzied Blitz L2


       150 hits in 329s = 2.208 speed , 0.453 attacks/s


       140 hits in 308s = 2.216 speed , 0.451 attacks/s


       140 hits in 309s = 2.223 speed , 0.450 attacks/s





               average    2.216 speed   0.451 attacks/s 

Note: server timings/latency, ping times and/or the general mood of the internet will have an effect since I can only measure what the server shows me. Comparing the minimum and maximum readings over the whole test shows a difference of only 2% so any effect by frenzied blitz would have shown up.

The results speak for themselves, frenzied blitzdoes absolutlely nothing.

Are you sure it don't work?

I putL2 on a BIO pet and the SOB hits 1 hit every second, it used to hit 1 hit every 2 seconds........

I'm not surprised.

Enrage Pets (which increases Melee Damage by 25 and Defense by -40) also seems to be broken, or at least there was no visible change in the damage output listed in the Combat log when I was testing it.

Devs, can we get some fixes for our new, shiny upgrade?
