I did some research but im really confused, so im coming here hoping for help.


I have a standard lance atm with a speed of 4.5.

My polearm speed is +43.


How fast am i now swinging? Also how do you determine this so that i can use the formula when i lvl get aa's ca's.


Anyone help would be greatly appreciated.

The speed formula is:




final_delay = special_delay_multiplier * weapon_delay * (100 - speed_bonus)/100

* final_delay -- the delay you actually swing/fire at
* weapon_delay -- the delay listed on your weapon
* special_delay_multiplier -- a multiplier that depends on the special you are using, 1.0 when you are not using a special
* speed_bonus -- the speed bonus you have for the weapon you are using, as listed in your skills menu. This might also be modified by skill attachments.

This final_delay, is capped at 1 second. As you tend towards a 100 speed bonus you will move towards the 1 second speed cap.




Using this, with your mods and weapon, you are swinging at 2.6 seconds per autoattack swing, and 5.1 seconds per polearmhit2. Very slow.
