attack speed since patch

[woundweaver]

i like the overall attack changes......except our speed doing it now. we are swinging like the woman running very slowly through the wheat field in the summers eve ****** commercial. and i dont feel clean. the mobs attack speed has remained the same, but we are swinging drastically slower. seems like we need haste to swing at the old normal speed. casters are gonna hate it, cus if they think we were crackheads before.....wait till this goes over. so, how much speed did we get taken away? what percentage? well, off to buy all the haste clickies i can. gonna need em. i just feel like ive been nerfed.

What level character are you noticing this on?

[woundweaver]

13 fvs. twf

hmmm, strangely enough, on my Sw+Bd FvS I am notincing a slow down as well, level 10 currently, but it has been that way for a while....I figured it was a lag issue, but I am seeing it consistantly.

muffinboard.

Lvl 12 unarmed monk, my attacks feel much slower. I also have the same animation rotation, though i'm not sure if that was suposed to change or not.

I played briefly in a Menachtarum slayer group this morning after the patch. My own attack speed, as a level 10 TWF pure Ranger, felt marginally slower than previously. The people I was playing with complained so constantly in chat it's a wonder they could actually be playing the game, but the consensus was that attack speeds and run speeds were lower across the board. I noticed no change to run speed. The player complaining the most about run speed was a Monk.

One glitch I definitely noticed is that right clicking no longer allowed me to hard target a MOB (I use mouse look on and swing with the left mouse button, with the right for selecting). Right clicking to select doors, MOBs, et. al. required multiple and/or very slow and deliberate clicks to get the selection or activation to register.

big discussion here about it.

liberate clicks to get the selection or activation to register.

They already need to patch their patch.

lvl 20 monk unarmed seems to be nerfed too, drastically. I'm gonna buy some df clickies and see if they just screwed up and isn't taking the +5 bab into account from flurry, but rather it's actual bab.... that would really suk, forcing my monk to use madstone all the time.

/sigh

I'm scared to log on. I really hope they didn't **** this up as bad as it sounds.

In my opinion they did. I should add...based on the fact that I am a feel player and love twitch gaming. It has hurt that style a great deal.

In my opinion they did.

seconded

...can't believe they actually introduced a fundamental change to the existing combat system in just a minor patch

[timberhick]

I can't get the downloader to do anything besides say "queued for download" and you guys are already playing?

What am I missing?

Maybe they slowed down melee attack speed to match ranging attack speed thereby correcting the problem noticed by range makers everywhere that range attacks speeds are incorrect. Now with melee attack speeds slowed down the two are once again properly in tune.

[woundweaver]

dude, the combat system is what makes this game great. now they are changing it for the worst. if it aint broke,dont fix it. use the money you are raking in wisely.

Another test on lvl 20 rogue, 15 bab.

Tried both madstone boots and divine power clickies, the temporary bab increase to 20 didn't yield any faster attack rates, partial bab melees are royally hosed now. (tested with haste on all the time to outweight the melee allacrity of madstone which would be a sideffect).

that could be but to me it is a game ender imo. the no twitch combat feel that is here now is a death bell for me! did not turbine read ne of the four million posts on how we liked the game play and if there was another mmo that had the same twitch gameplay would have left long ago? well now turbine has made their gameplay bland and slow like all other games around ....so imo there is absolutely no reason to stay ne more . again turbine great work screwing up this game over a couple of squeeky wheels on the forums *cough boro *cough

Really? I'm getting ~78 attacks per minute at BAB 15 and ~81 attacks per minute at BAB 20 when using standard weapon styles. No extra attack speed was used.
