ASPD

What is ASPD?

ASPD is Attack Speed. It depends on the player's class, equipped Weapon Type, Speed Modifiers, AGI and DEX.

ASPD Formula (0-190)

ASPD = 200-(WD-([WD*AGI/25]+[WD*DEX/100])/10)*(1-SM)

[ ]: to round the number to nearest integer

WD: Weapon Delay = 50*BTBA

BTBA (Base Time Between Attacks (seconds))

BTBA for Dual Wielding (Assassin)

BTBA = 0,7*(BTBA1+BTBA2)

SM (Speed Modifiers (Potions, Skills, Equipment))

Speed Modifiers stacks by adding up all.

Example

Lord Knight wielding a 2-Handed Sword (Base Time Between Attacks 1,1 second / 145 ASPD), and no AGI or DEX, stacking speed mods:

• Berserk Potion (0,2 IAS) + Twohand Quicken (0,3 IAS) + Frenzy (0,3 IAS) = 0,8 IAS
• Combining them together, attack interval becomes a whooping 0,22 seconds between attack (189 ASPD).
• To reach the attack speed cap (0,2 seconds per attack / 190 ASPD), a total of 23 points of AGI+DEX/4 equivalents.

Hits per Second

Hits/Second = 1/TBA = 50/Delay = 50/(200-ASPD)

TBA : Time Between Attacks (seconds)

ASPD represents attack speed as a hyperbolic function (different from exponential function) that approaches infinity attacks/second as ASPD gets close to 200.
