Just worth a laugh/head scratch:

They took the time to fix flurry attack speed morph stacking, which no one uses, cares about, or matters, since attack speed buffs are useless. While many things that really effect play were untouched. Wow.

Yeah, I don't think you actually saw what happened when a Nightblade could stack their Haste ability with Quickening Strikes. I was able to crank out more damage by only using Quickening Strikes to boost my attack speed. It was insanely fast, and it was insanely effective.

I don't understand why a lot of you use stuff that isn't intended to work? It's insane how many players do use exploits(I hate this word because it's meaning is misunderstood sometimes) in games now a days. There would be far less trying to "cheat" when gaming first came out but ever since they started with game codes and those little cartridges you could buy that would help you cheat in games, gaming has taken a turn for the worse(T?).

This is a big reason why players cry so much that a boss is too hard or a quest is too tough to complete and why so many have been numbed down to no skill needed to complete basically...

I wasn't sure that it was bugged, since there was nothing to indicate that this ability wasn't supposed to stack with other attack speed increases. I was pretty sure it would get fine-tuned, because it was a little too powerful and made it hard to justify using other abilities.

I've been playing since early beta. This doesn't affect my ability to play my class well at all. I'll just go back to my earlier tactics that didn't use light attacks nearly as much.

Well, to be fair, it doesn't necessarily indicate they're trying to "cheat" the system, just work within it to the best benefits. Doing something like intentionally applying the same mundus stone buff over and over to max your crit is a little different than trying to use a 1.2 second cast to get a 6 second, 15% attack speed increase. At most, you'd have 45% attack speed increase for just around a second, and then it would drop off, and without the medium armor passive, it isn't really game breaking. I do see, though, that it's saying it's not supposed to stack with other attack speed increases, so it might still stack with itself.

I like when the guy is tough. I have had many fights where it could of gone either way and when I win it brings a smile to my face. Those are the type of fights I love.

Saet

What would be wrong with different attack speed buffs stacking? Different shields stack all day long. Lots of complaints on that and nothing done about it. No complaints about the speed buff stacking and its nerfed. Unless I am not understanding what they changed here. I didnt use the skill but it seems like if I have a spell that increases attack speed x% and cast another spell that does it also then it should stack just like shields do.

Yeah sorry I agree why wouldn't they stack? It makes no sense that they don't so now it's a completely uses buff. I my biggest problem with the whole Night Blade class is skills that become useless at a point. They have evasion but can't use it against half the end content. They have crowd control and speed buffs that again stop working after a certain point in the game as well.

It is very frustrating to be in a dungeon and have to stop everything because I have to change out all my skills because three of the five will not work against a boss.
