Does anyone know how much +10 speed to a weapon type effects the real time speed of swinging the weapon? For every +10 weapon speed I have, by how much does this reduce the actually weapon speed?

I'm curious because I want to know, at Master Fencer, what the slowest weapon speed is we can use and still hit the 1 sec speed limit.

Anyone know?

currently every +10 you have will reduce the speed by .1 so at master fencer you should be hitting with a minus .9 on all weapons. Although some have stated that in our current state that no matter what weapon you use as a master melee fighter (i.e fencer pikeman tka etc) that you will hit a 1.0 accross the board.

that is completely incorrect.

Right now a +10 to speed is equal to a 10% reduction in speed. A 3.0 speed weapon will be reduced to 2.7 speed with +10 speed. As you gain more speed in your skill trees you can get as low as 1.0 speed in regular attacks. Regular speed is currently capped at 1.0 seconds. So take your speed accumulated by skill tree points and use this formula. for every 1 point of speed, reduce your weapon speed by 1% until the 1.0 second cap is reached, in which any speed skill points become irrelivent to regular attacks.

Now the special move formula is different. It's

Special move speed multiplier * weapon speed (1.0 - Weaponskill speed/100)

Example: 4*4.0(1.0-90/100)

16(.10)= special move attack speed 1.6

which is really high for a fencer as you wont be using many 4.0 speed weapons and i can't recall all the multipliers for our special. 4 is high. At master brawler you can get up to 95 speed skill,which that 5 extra skill would make all master brawler/fencers specials 1/2 of that of a non master brawler, master fencer. Master brawler is twice as fast at specials as a master fencer without.
