Assuming no difference in WA on the whole (not implausible and probably very realistic e.g. Khanjars etc.), it is not impossible for attack speeds to weigh equally, if not more, with damage multipliers to make 1H weapons DPS-viable. In fact, if you think about the skill delay function, your increase in DPS for every increase in speed stage is increasing.

 some numbers

(2) --> (1) gives more DPS increase compared to (3) --> (2) (barring rounding functions). At the hyper-funded regime and especially for some classes, this is extremely possible. 12/11, 11/10, 10/9, 9/8, 8/7... that went from a 9.1% increase in DPS to a 14.1% increase in DPS, which would already have overcome the weapon multiplier difference by a great deal.

Indeed. But Many of the Higher end players, at least the ones I hang with, go get Decent SI gloves(for classes that can abuse it) through the pot tier upgrade ones from Root Abyss.

 Spoiler

The Faf Desparado and terminus ones are Fast(5) rather than Normal(6) like most Desparados. DA has 3 speed boosts. Two from Booster and the other from Overwhelming power, iirc. Putting it at 2. Decent SI brings it down to 1 and for whatever reason Green pot lets you break cap so you go to 0.

We did the speed test yesterday. But we used a normal Desparado, Normal SI, and Zero Buff(which also breaks speed cap for some reason). We're not sure but we think he went -1 speed when he went green pot.

I can try to get him to record if you'd like to see. Though If it's on my DA I can't record, unless one of them logs me, so I'll just call out the buffs that affect speed/rebuff that I have at the time.

So I'd do: Power(6 > 5). Booster (6 > 4). Booster + Power (6 > 3). Booster + SI (6 > 2). Booster + Power + SI (6> 1). Then Throw in Zero for (6 > 0) and then green so you can determine if it actually goes -1.
