DWing and weapon speed.. - Phoenix Freeshard

If Im a highlander merc and I use a 3.8 main hand and a 3.4 off hand will I run in to some sort of swing speed hard cap with haste buffs up?

Everyone keeps telling me to get the 4.4 feather weapon from crush. Does the AF proc even stack with an AF charge? Is there a loss in DPS from overcapping my swing speed?

Basically im wondering how critical it is to get the 4.4 swing speed and if the AF proc stack with AF charges.

Thanks in advance for your advice.

Old school there was a 1.5 sec swing speed cap. I’ve heard on this sever there is no caps (tho 1.5 swing speed is pretty badass and that’s what you should shoot for).

With 4.4/3.4 or even 3.8/3.4 it’s gonna be tough to cap your swingspeed until high rr with MoA and capped quick and theurg haste buff, so don’t worry about it. I’d suggest finding a quicker offhand and going from there.

As far as AF buff don’t get any defensive procs on your weps, go all offensive. If you wanna run an af charge sweet do that. But you’ll want dd procs on your weps for sure.

Wait what ? Could you link any evidence for the "no swing speed cap" claim ? I find it hard to believe and I'm pretty sure the cap exists here too, but I'll be happy to be corrected.

There are 2 death messages between the mh that went into the bubble and the next mh + oh swing, that means there was at least some delay. The smallest possible delay is 1.5 sec.
For full disclosure, the only circumstance where you can swing faster than 1.5 is when an error happens while attacking but that causes a log entry and is usually fixed right away and when it happens you swing without any delay whatsoever, it’s either no delay or at least 1.5 sec, never anything in between. The last time this happened was with a damage add change about a month ago and was fixed within 10 minutes.

Thats from the bug tracker about someone claiming a NS was swinging too fast. Although there have been times I feel like someone gets too many attacks off too quickly.

AF proc from the Sidi weapon does not stack. You're likely to run into endurance problems without a paladin always in the group if you go for faster weapons which is probably why you are being recommended the 4.4spd.
