At master I think its been said that your weapon would have to be pretty darn slow to not swing it every second, basically just hope for damage slices, because even a 3.5 spd weapon youll swing at the cap.

With Master Brawler and Master Fencer, onehanded weapon speed is 95.

I have the calculation as modified speed = speed*(1-speed modifier/100).

This makes anything up to a speed of 20 brought down to the current cap, which is 1.

20*(1-95/100) = 20*0.05 = 1

Without Master Brawler, onehanded weapon speed would be 90, there fore the maximum speed to be brought down to 1 would be 10.

10*(1-90/100) = 10*0.1 = 1

Strange what a difference of 5 makes at that level, but what weapon has a speed greater than 10?

If they bring the cap down to 0.5, which has been talked about, that would make the max capped speed as 10 with master brawler & 5 without.

Your calculations are incorrect. You neglected to add the special attack speedmodifier. Each special move has a speed modifier, and they are all greater than 1, thus adding more delay, i.e. slowing you down. Still, the slowest weapon I have is a 3.5 speed gaffi stick, and I hit the cap with it. As a master fencer, you don't really need to worry greatly about speed.

I need some sort of clear answer, my acklay gaffi stick got an insane damage slice and is 4.0 speed. I do fine with it at master.

The attic was less to us from the cellar the bones like the attic let them have it let them stay in the attic. When they sometimes come down the stairs at night and stand perplexed behind the door and headboard of the bed brushing that chalky skull with chalky fingers with sounds like the dry rattling of a shutter. Thats what I sit up in the dark to say.

Actual Weapon Minimum Damage = [Weapon Min Damage] * [Special Attack Damage Modifier]

Actual Weapon Maximum Damage = [Weapon Max Damage] * [Special Attack Damage Modifier]

Actual Speed = ( (100 - [Character Speed Skill Mod] ) / 100 ) * [Weapon Speed] * [Special Attack Speed Modifier] \\ Cap = 1.0

Actual Average DPS = [Actual Weapon Min Damage] + [Actual Weapon Max Damage] / 2 / [Actual Speed]

* Character Speed Skill Mod @ Master Fencer = 90

** DPS is before armor piercing, mitigation, etc.

Thus, in order to reach the cap as a Master Fencer with a 4.0 speed stick, you must use a special move that has a 2.5 speed modifier or lower. Having said that, I can not find any data on special move speed modifiers, but it is extremely doubtful any of the fencer moves have higher than a 2.5 speed mod. For comparison, carbineer special moves do not have any speed mods higher than 2.5.
