How much does quickness affect swing speed?

[vandar]

Anyone got any idea of the factors involved in calculating your speed to hit?

I'm aware of the 1.5s cap on melee and yes you can get MoA to lower speed, but, how much does your quickness affect this say if you are using a 2.6s weapon?

I saw some calculations for it, and with a low Qui it does not matter much, but the higher figures (200+) really improves it a lot and hitting the 1.5sec cap can be easy argived with a fast weapon. Frairs with max Qui and a fast staff do not even need to use they're Wings to hit at max speed (main reason they use a slow staff).

That is not completely True ... oh baby, give me a crafted 16.5 Dps and 3.0Spd staff ... and i'll use it ..
Problem with crafted 15+ Dps staves is that the normal "Quarterstaves" that are 3.0 Spd and that i LOVE, well, there just are none, so the next choice for a 15+ Dps Staff is either a 5.0 or 5.5 Spd staff ...
And that is also the reason why soooo many Friars are soooo hungry @ Bubble Breaker, i'll respec the day that i get it 8O)

Calculation for spd is:

Effective Speed = SPD * ( 1 – ( Quickness – 60 ) / 500) ) * ( 1 – Haste%)

Since the cap is 1.5 you can also find the hast needed to cap spd .

does the cap actually work though, i'm sure i've heard that someone proved the casting speed cap is broken and doesn't cap you
