weighted-attack speed increase? not working? or just me?

canghai

so i had a staff with weighted trait:10% attack speed increase
and compared to a normal staff

and recorded the time it took to get off 20 heavy attacks fired at a wall, and i used the time the projectile impacted the wall as time to start/stop recording since that is more constant than if i were to start/stop using animation

anyways the results were never bigger than .3 of a difference, i guess from human error

so is it me or is weighted trait bugged?

would be better to compare if you had straight numbers, i.e whats your attack speed before increase? if its low say like I dunno 20 then 10% would make it 22, higher numbers should theoretically be higher of course i.e 200 would then become 220, obviously at lower numbers the increase would be fairly minimal and probably harder to actually see the difference, or I could be completely wrong and its in fact a bug...

All attack speeds are bugged, rapid strikes from dw gives attack speed buff, doesnt do anything. Destro staff has attack speed pasive on heavy attacks, doesnt do anything. Theres no speed increase with weighted.
But im sure it will get fixed at some point.

Your test number is quite small, with 20 in each group you have 77 % probability to actually detect 10 % difference.

But is that said, as far as I am informed, it is indeed bugged at the moment, so your experiments will be for nothing.

did the update fix weighted issue?

As I understand it:

Powered (reduce enchantment cooldown) is probably what you are looking for in relation to Magic based attacks with staves.

Weighted would reduce the physical speed of attack. In the case of staves, this would essentially only be for bash/interrupt purposes.

Powered is how fast you can fire off your magic...weighted is how fast you can swing your sword...
