Attack speeds

Post by Wyvern »

Hello,

Does anyone know how many hits per second (minute, whatever) correspond to the different attack speeds? I'm trying to figure out if my 355 damage slower speed two handed hammer (medium damage) is better than a 255 one handed fast speed sword (again, medium damage)... Note that the shield is not really an issue, I don't really need it although it comes in nicely.

Thanks.

Well, just in case anyone is interested, the hammer is slightly better in terms of damage over time but you are more exposed. This is the test I performed - I killed the chickens in the trials of Gallus in 1.47 minutes with the hammer and 1.58 minutes with the sword.

I always use the most damaging weapon, even if it is slower, but I only use one handed weapons. It would just seem to me that loosing the 70 or so armor my shield give me would suck.

Losing the 80 armor the shield provides doesn't suck; what sucks is losing the 35% blocking the shield gives.
