Swing Speeds - Currently on Test

The main boards are down so I will go ahead and post this here instead. Ill post it there when they come back up.

I just did some further testing of melee swing speeds after the last publish to test... here are my findings... And maybe it was this way the whole time on test but the slower mac speeds were making it hard for me to see. With the faster mac speeds the swing speeds are easier to tell apart.

One handed Sword swing speeds... Still appear to be same as live...

Two handed Axe swing speeds... Bad news knights... The nerf is there now. Two handed axes are slower than one handed swords. Great Axe and Silver Axe swing slower than Damascus and Silver Long Sword. Noticeably slower, but not overwhelmingly.

Two handed Sword swing speeds... I will call this one... bugged. They are still slower than one handed weapons. They are still slower than two handed axes... They are, in fact... very very very... very slow. I am calling this one 'bugged' because they are sooo slow, I could not even get them to auto swing... (drag to chat box) Even repeatedly clicking to make them continue swinging... they would not continue to swing. It was like one swing every two seconds... It was depressing... At first I thought I had horrible lag... which turned out not to be the case.

Daggers are still fastest of all weapons.

 

Goodbye Maphr's Retribution. May you rest in peace.

 

 

The test server was also going down for 'publish of new content' or so the [******] was saying... but Lyzira did not mention any new content this week. Hopefully this is a sign they are making good progress.

I also came up with the same results after testing similar weapons.  2h swords are practically useless.

Lyzira, if you are reading

Lyzira, if you are reading this... can you confirm for us if the super, super, utterly useless swing speeds of Two Handed Swords is intended or not?

 

It really feels like a bug that should be addressed.

are 1h axes like orc bume and thors effected any? I was debating selling my orc bume, sls and maybe btsu and just getting a ori dagger before I let my account run out, as it sounded like they'll be the new best weapon under dk sword.... sounds like thats how its gonna play out to. Definatly should of sold my MAoF before account expired, they're gonna drop from 80mil to 5mil lol... at least eva's shield will be cheap to make again as BDS will be 500k again.

remember most of your dmg isn't from a weapon, its from the str bonus, buffs, enchant and lvl bonus, so an increase is swing speed would likly negate the amount more dmg a +9 tsu does than even a +9 orcish dagger.

With buffs piled on the ori

With buffs piled on the ori dagger unloads, zerk making the biggest impact. I was only using a +8 one on test and decided it was more reliable than DK and blew the DK.

Now I am higher level, faster mac swing speeds, and a higher enchant ori dagger...  Sk8 on Ken now and Sk8 on Ken tomorrow are going to be two completely different characters as far as capability.

Also, I am not sure why

Also, I am not sure why anyone would make a dragon armor other than Anth and maybe Val... Even before LOA rules, with LOA rules, after LOA rules...

Anth is hands down the best one. And even after the nerf it recieves I will still be using it just as much. The only place I really use it now is TOS 2f, and the earth ER will still be helpful there with all the erupting mops. 

Anth was always the most diverse dragon armor. I am glad I made that one instead of one of the others that are now all but useless for the cost.
