Time to bother Bui for Fastest(1) skill times.

I know this is a long stretch, but I did meet a few NLs who said wind booster did make their attacks seem faster. Maybe wind booster can bring attacks past the weapon speed limit.

Yeah. I was confused when people in GMS kept saying that Wind Booster didn't affect Triple Throw. My Japanese friend has a Night Lord that I trained with once and she was amazed by her speed with Wind Booster.

Well, this is interesting. You guys must continue investigating before we have a surge of pissed off, high level Buccaneers!

I think a lot of the speeds were changed in v.63, because I've only recently heard this surge of comments about the attack speed thread being wrong.
I'm pretty sure that Triple Throw wasn't affected in v.62...

I asked my friend Draee (lunchbox hero) about wind booster, and he said that it didn't effect his brandish. He has 11 wind booster on his buc. That's the guy i asked to booster me so I can test the difference. He also said to me that 11 wind booster effects bucs more than lvl 1. (just so you guys have more confirmation)
I should have 11 wind booster in like 5 lvls. Next 2 lvls are going into dragon strike so it's lvl 21, then I need 3 lvls to bring booster to 11 (its lvl 2). Then i'll do some testing with other classes.

The pineapple?
It doesn't make sense how it breaks the cap for some and not for others.

... i just thought of something. Has anybody made SURE(i.e. tested it) that Knuckle Booster lowers weapon speed by 2? I mean, all the other boosters do, but what if ours only lowers it one, and no one seemed to notice? I'd be easy to test for anyone with 11 SI, just see if ONLY using 11+ SI is faster or same speed as only using booster.

One incriment increase with Wind Booster is actually two speeds, just like the normal booster. So Wind Booster is technically +4 (counting halves). Speeds up hole speeds. So, Fast with booster goes to Faster, then it goes to Fastest. Then, I have no idea where the second incriment of Wind Booster takes you... That's what Saphire8 on lolbasil told me.

Normal booster is -2.
1-10 SI is -1.
11-20 is -2.
Thus with both boosters you get a total increase of -3 with 1-10 SI and -4 with 11-20.

This is my theory :
Knuckles are Fast (5), but Rapid Fists (barrage) runs at Slow (7[?]). With Booster, it goes to Normal (6). Then with level 1 Wind Booster, it goes to Fast (5) and then with level 11 Wind Booster, it goes to Fast (4).
I think the skill speeds varry with each of the skills. Like Flash Fist is Fast (4) and Energy Drain is Faster (3), while skills like Rapid Fists are slow (7). Some skills get greater boosts than the others, which makes Wind Booster viable for combinations.

My theory is that 2nd job booster only adds +1 weapon speed to our skills, and 11 Si adds +2. So fast 5 becomes faster 2.

My theory is basically the same as justins, except normal booster and wind booster both add +2. The spammable skills aren't affected as much as the slower ones, and the slower skills (demo, barrage, etc) work off the slow (7) cast time.
Something like that.
The question is how wind booster affects everyone else.

Setting up a combo breaker, but my theory is that they both subtract two from the weapon's attack speed rating as originally stated, and that in v.63 the speed cap was raised and we are now operating on Fastest (1) as the fastest speed. I'm picking up from general observing and talking to other people that NLs using Skandas can actually attack faster than 100/min (104/min was the observed speed, iirc), so I think the only thing that changed was the speed cap.

Does this mean the cap can be broken, or that it was just raised? I think it's the latter, but can't skandas theoretically go to fastest (-1)? Those things are faster (3) without booster aren't they?
(I suppose C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!!! is appropriate?  )
