Well just to let everyone know I hit 200 polearm and swordsman speed and once I hit 150 it made no difference to my modified speed no matter how much I went up in tapes, and I started off with around 145 swordsman speed and 115 polearm speed.

hmm I'm a speed stacked pike atm, Master Pikes, 0400 Swords, 0400 Fencer, 0040 TK and a +25 Pike speed tape...I have +140 speed.
How exactly have you reached 200?

With lots and lots of tapes and all speed from melee. There is no +25 cap on tapes anymore.

Cool down timers unaffected, if skills are on different timers then you can spam every second like say impale and meleeassault from brawler. I hit every 2 seconds on same skill just like I do with 150 speed or 100 speed. Now certain skills have a lot longer delay which was still unaffected, over all I wasted tons of tapes hope I can resell =)

Can you break down exactly how you got +200 please? I'm not calling you a liar but i can't see it in the skill trees. Thanks

Started with 115 speed @ mpike/msword/mbrawler/x4xxfencer and added 85speed in tapes to my RIS/ubese shirt/mabari belt.

Lol that would do it. Thanks for clearing that up.

right now with 140 speed I swing pretty fast, when a doc gives me a +40 speed buff, I can still see a MAJOR difference. *shrug*
Thing is, being fast only means you run out of action faster, because if your first hit is a low damage one, it'll still take a year to kill the mob because you hit for the same damage as your first hit for the entire fight.

Just use meleehit to regen since it takes very little and deals a decent amount of damage to make the fight faster. What people are not understanding right now is that the simple attacks are actually better for the SAC.

The speed formula is logarithmic now, so there is no hard cap, but as you add more, the additional increase becomes less and less.

its a system of diminishing returns, u can get 5mill speed if u wanted to... but it will stop showing a difference after a certain lvl, u decide that lvl
