Isn't there something missing here? Like flamming the DEVs for not fixing attachments after all this time.

This post sucks to write but hopefully you learn something useful.

There are 2 mods in this tape. One is completely useless. The other modis only usefulfor grinding for now.

The1h counter-attack mod is worthless. When equipped with a fencer weapon you get a dodge- not a counter-attack - checkif your ranged/melee defence fails. Dodge/Block/Counterattack skillsonly work if you equip a weapon from that profession.

Rifle speed 9 sounds nice but if you aremaster riflesthere is a chance you are already speed capped at 90- depending on weapon speed.If you aren't,youwill beif you pick up 12 enhanced ranged speed points - when the bug is fixed. The only players this skill mod would be useful for now are IMO novices grinding towards master rifles, or uncappedmaster rifles who pass/passed up enhanced range speed for another tree for whatever reason.

If I were in your shoes, I would either give it to a friend who is trying to master rifles, or equip the speed mod regardless of the documented cap. You shouldnt see any increase in your rifle speed when you do it assuming you capped, but there might come a day when SOE allows players to attack faster (say 1 attack per .95 seconds). There is a decent chance this could happen eventually. When/if it does you will be very glad you saved this mod.

I would not feel comfortable selling it. It isn't really useful right now except as a grinding aid. You might manage to find a buyer who doesnt know anything and pays millions for it but I think its kind of a scam. Yes it happens all the timeand it's perfectly legal according to SOE - I just saw a guy auctioning a 25 unarmed speed tape for15 mil lol - but I dont think its right.

FYI, there are tons of those borked tapes out there which looksweet but are actually useless. You were unlucky but not totally unlucky: the rifle speed mod was really valuable before FS began - and it may yet again be valuable if caps are lowered.

Here is the deal with rifle tapes, If you are "capped" at 90, yes its possible to technically be capped, but if you have +100, ANY WEAPON of ANY speed will fire once per second.

Example, Tusken King Rifle From Krayt Skull Quest, it is a Kinetic (yes kinetic!) Rifle with 210 max damage with 14 SECOND speed on it, i got a damage slice and a powerup and it gave me around 320 i think, cant remember. I have fired it with and without my +10 bandoleer, without the bandoleer you get around a shot every few seconds. WITH the speed bandolier i get 1 shot per second every time.

I have a few krayted t21's that are 5 second speed range, but high damage, the bando helps bigtime and makes it shoot once per second

Yes you are right also about the enhanced melee speed, it is DEFINETLY broken at the moment. But the devs have no confirmed this whatsoever and to my knowledge, have EVER stated that this will actually give you 12 more points of particuliar speed.
