Attack speed

[(XBOX)AcidForficula]

So I tried alot of melee weapons and really like them all. So far one special was Ack&Brunt I really love the animation and the stance ,sweet mobility. Anyhow today I made Mios for my Saryn prime and base attack speed is higher than A&B. However it feels painfully slower to use, using the defiled dragon something stance. I even put fury mod on it but A&B doesnt have fury and yet it is muh faster than Mios. I Also tried to stuff it with body count,blood rush and berserker and its still slower when compared to A&B same setup. Anything Im missing here?

The stance for mios is a lot less mobile than the one for A&B. You're probably used to how fast the A&B swings so the mios seems slow to you. Just my guess really.

Attack speed is just a multiplier for animation speed. Each weapon might be slower or faster depending on how it's animated, often being different depending on what stance you have equipped.

Attack speed is only comparable when looking at two melee weapons of the same category.
