Delay (Normal(6)): 810ms
Delay (Fast(4)):
810ms * (10+4)/16 = 708.75
(Round up to the nearest multiple of 30)
708.75/30 = 23.625 (Round this number up to the nearest whole number)
24 * 30 = 720ms
Attacks per second (Fast(4)):
1000ms/720ms = 1.38888...
Delay (Faster(3)):
810 * (10+3)/16 = 658.125
658.125/30 = 21.9375
22 * 30 = 660ms
Attacks per second (Faster(3)):
1000ms/660ms = 1.5151...
Increase in attacks (Per Second):
1.5151.../1.3888... = 1.090909...
This is the same as:
1000/660
------------
1000/720
which is equal to 720/660, which is the initial delay divided by the new delay.
Ah so that's how the boosters work? (10 + x)/16? Finally I learnt something that I've been dying to find out all the time. I did a rough calculation in some other thread, which came the the same conclusion: nothing more than 10% increase in DPS.
