my other posts were removed, not sure why...they were genuine questions

1. Why chose +15 and +10 health for the chest/legs region instead of say +10 armor vs elemental damage or +20 armor vs elemental damage if you have 13 strength for a warrior - I read the chest and legs are hit the most

AND

2. Male and Female warrior animation attacks, they are differently designed obviously to factor in the shape and form of the man/woman but I'm wondering if the timings for swinging and attacking are the same for both so one doesn't have an advantage over the other...

What I mean is I've been playing a male/female warrior for awhile and from my perspective (This is just my opinion and it CAN be wrong) is that the male warrior ATTACKS FASTER than the female warrior BUT the female warrior CASTS FASTER than the male warrior because of how the animations look when performing those actions

Thoughts?

the attack speed is in the weapon people choose health over vs elemental for vs is only against elemental damage where as health unconditional going against all damage.

Health vs Armor = Do you think you'd reduce the amount of health you lose if you took the 13 strength +20 vs elements on the warrior though? You might have 625 health overall with shield/sword but wouldn't it be better to reduce that damage for each fireball/lightning bolt hit by 20-30 points because of the armor?

I understand that but the animation i'm wondering if there's human error coming into play by the animators (Or myself) because from what i'm seeing if say I have

* Male Warrior SWORD

* Famele Warrior SWORD

I find that the male warrior attacks faster in some instances just by the way the animations look...that could just be an illusion though from my perspective and they are actually the same

Is there anyway to test it out?

There is no difference in attack speed between male and female characters.

This is why health bonuses for chest and leg pieces are larger than any other, to take that into account.

have any tests been run to verify that accuracy?

how about the height of a character would that take into effect where their attacks land?

Look harder for your posts next time?

As for your test part... I'm quite sure there have been. It's probably just your eyes deceiving you - I never thought males attacked faster than females, nor have I ever seen it.

And about your second comment...: No, it doesn't take height into effect.

Trust me. This game is over 3 years old, virtually every test that can be done has been done, in areas much more complicated than 'do males attack faster than females'. There are people in this community who could tell you the exact DPS of a Mind Blast Ele template in a variety of situations, for example.

Create a new char(one male war, one female war), take it to the Isle of the Nameless. Find a suit of armor(or the Master of Damage) and whack away. Time how often the damage numbers appear over the suit over a given period of time, rather then how often the animations show you swinging.
