I asked a question in another forum and this (BELOW) was the answer I got. My question now here is... What is the speed cap on our weapons if you were a master Fencer (i.e. whats the slowest weapon that will still swing at 1.0 speed)???
************
As you go up in professions, one of the skills earned is speed. There comes a point (sometimes only with the aid of attachments, even if you are a Master) where you shoot/swing your weapon at 1.0 speed regarless of the weapon's speed. At that point, increases in damage are always better since you cannot go any faster. To see at what point you will be that fast with your particular weapons, check the appropiate Profession Forum. Let me know if that was confusing.

Ok, so to clarify... a weapon with a speed of 4.0 (or so) will still swing at 1.0 speed??? (im talking without powerups/specials etc...)
I am just trying to figure out the base speed of my weapons with a dmg or spd slice... etc..
thank

at master fencer a 4.0 weapon will speed cap (swing at 1.0 speed) with specials. at master fencer without specials 10.0 speed will swing at ocne per second.(besides animation delay)

I had a decent gaderiffi with 3.5 speed that i swung at cap and that was with specials. basically any well made gaderiffi that u buy is gonna be at a speed that u can swing at or somewhere damn close to cap so just get as high of a dmg on em as u can.

basically your get a speed bonus of 100-(your_1Hspeed_score) %
so a master fencer, with 90 1H speed, reduce any weapon speed to a mere 10% of original
a master brawler, master fencer doubles up his speed, retaining only 5% of original speed
and dont ask me what happens to a master brawler,master

(hu sorry :smileyindifferent
and dont ask me what happens to a master brawler,master fencer who got a +10 1Hspeed armor attachement ... he should be striking before the combat starts.
be thankful we have a speed cap to 1.0 we all it even spamming specials with 4.0 speed weapons.

now i dont know if someone will follow me on this, but why wouldn't we submit that the excess speed bonus (beyond the 1.0 speed cap) would convert on the fly to some damage bonus.
for exemple ifwe hit the speed cap at80 1H_speed and have a score of 95, we could have a +15 1h_damage_bonus. when doing a special or using a weapon slow enough to need a 90 1H_speed, the damage bonus would drop to 5 points.
it wouldnt be "big" but it wouldn't be the waste it is today.
what do you think ?

That would not be fair since Rifkemen are far faster than Pistoleers, besides the combat balance will change the speed equation anyway so it doesn't matter.

Did they change the speed cap? I have a 3.2 gaffi and I don'tattack once per sec(master). In fact I attack faster. In the space of one cut off animation(like half as long) my 17 ham goes up to 74 and above combining my damage occaisonaly to 6k in one cut off animation. I never used to attack this insanely fast. It isnt taking me 6 seconds to do this muchdamage. Maybe 2 to 2 1/2. It's quite awesome. What you thinking on this?
