[ Debate ] Is Attack Speed Unnecessary

The spell inputs are being registered, the spell not going through is a case of lag. You can see that they're registered above your hotbar.

 

That's is not the problem of lag.... @Pokextreme help
or you can look at this video when I cast with super fast

You can see I casted successfully 100% of time with Torrential Tide since it's super fast, That IS a bug or maybe idk? feature? that @Selvut283 also know about it

 

You didn't even cast successfully ever time. In the first 5 seconds i've already seen a misfire like those in the previous video. I don't know if this is just some weird cognitive dissonance or bias, but there's not much of a difference other than attack speed. Any dissimilarities can be put down to margin or error.

 

Yes on the first 5 seconds I misfire cuz I was using nemrekt rage which is a normal attack speed weapon, but the rate of misfire with normal atk spd is not as high as the rate of super slow

My English is bad, any simplier word?

 

I've noticed a connection between slow attack speeds and casting failures. You fail to cast if you do the final click during the left click. Anything worse then Fast makes this an issue

 

I misfire 1 spell with normal atk spd every ~6 spells
and 0 misfire with super fast
and I misfire like 3-4 spells every ~6 spells

 

It's not a massive deal, but it's really bad cause of mage

 

looking at Compiler +20 +20 +20 +20 +20 :o noice super slow NOPE

 

Oops, my b

Unimportant, I goofed. Still, I find this strange; having used both slower and faster weapons I've never noticed this issue before.

 

Comes down to how you play I suspect

 

I don't got any spell casting problem. Even if it is a Very slow /Normal /Very fast.

 

it's usually about the play style of some people, I have builds with spell spammy theme, I found out that it's rly hard to spam spells when the weapon is below, I think same applies to @Pokextreme
Some like @orange0401 has no issue on normal atk spd
and @Selvut283 only has issue casting with very slow/super slow
But if you cast spell fast/ play spell spamming, it's rly troublesome if you try to spam

 

COUGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

 

eh?

 

The spell casting mechanics should really be reworked. but yea i do agree beside extra "features", attack speed doesn't effect anything in the game with tier gear

 

I feel like it shouldn't be removed, just differentiated.
Add more pros and cons to each speed

 

Nah, they just need to fix the bugs and it'll be find

 

TBH I feel like a better solution would be to wait for the code refactor, as this should remove the problems with lag and spells. A damage-calculation rework may also happen as to balance out low-base weapons and high-base weapons and their relationship with elemental defense.

Also a few items need rebalances, currently fast melee >>>>>>>> slow melee which is not good for game balance. Also *cue Cancer quote* nerf Cancer's negative damages because they're easily counterable.

 

again as we quote out cancer, there are still alot more items featuring + - tier attack speed, it's not only cancer that need a rework

 

1) That's a problem with defense, not attack speed.
2) Just a glitch.
3) That's kinda the point. Not to mention, almost all Attack Speed gear has significant debuffs.
