OK, what's the point of speed on weapons when a master rifleman will now be able to pick up any rifle and use any special move at speed cap..... I mean +133 to rifle speed is jus silly. Have you seen this....

This game just gets sillier, I thought they were ment to be bringing balance.........
All speed/damage/etc. issues are supposed to be addressed in the combat balance. Carry on.
**edited because I didn't see the skill tree was from Test Center, oops, 
Although I don't think regular players will have access to the force tree until patch 10, and the next patch is supposed to be the combat balance, so yes, I suppose for one patch it might be possible to obtain ridiculous speed.

Since your personal speed mod is currently a % reduction in the delay resulting fromthe weapon speed times the special delay mod, anything over 100 (i.e., 100% reduction in delay) is meaningless.Likewise because there is a speed cap and no weapon can fire faster than once per second and since almost all rifles are faster than 9.5 seconds, youspeed cap 9.5 speed weapons with any special at 97, so actuallyany value over 97 is meaningless from a practical perspective. On the other hand, if it is possible to get a +133 and that has meaning under the coming changes, then what we know about rifle speed mods now is meaningless.
That is, you arecomparing lokian apples and corellian oranges either way. Either a +133 speed mod ismeaningless under the current system or the current system is meaningless where a +133 speed mod matters more than, say,a +125 speed mod. So it either won't matter, or it won't matter. You are just going to have to wait for some context.
