Weapon Speed/Attack Time Details
Posted: Sun Aug 01, 2021 4:54 pm
The question, “How does weapon speed work?”, seems to come up quite often, and answers seem to confuse people often enough too. So, I put the below together to help out with that and simplify things (hopefully).
From the manual:
Using that formula, I came up with the table below to help eliminate the math for people. For monsters, frequency is the same as Attacks/Second below.
From the manual:
The time that a non-magical attack takes is (1000 - [WEAPON_SPEED - 4] * 100) milliseconds.
Example: With WEAPON_SPEED=7, you hit every 700ms = 0.7 seconds: 1000 - [7 - 4] * 100 = 1000 - 3 * 100 = 700.
Using that formula, I came up with the table below to help eliminate the math for people. For monsters, frequency is the same as Attacks/Second below.
Code: Select all
Wpn Speed: Attack Time: Attacks/Second: Attacks/Minute: Time for 10 attacks:
---------- ------------ --------------- --------------- ---------------------
1 1300ms 0.7692307692 46.15384615 10 attacks / 13 seconds
