idk the time, but yeah i used frenzy on the isle of the nameless and you hit insanely fast

I would be worried about surviving over fast attacks, there are alot of asassins... so groups are hard to get into *at least the ones without 8 sins.*

i believe thats its 1.25sec per attack and go a/r and use tigers fury, with critical eye, high crit strike and zealous daggers energy is not a problem.

I thought that 16 dagger mastery made you attack at a rate of 1 per 1.00 seconds?

Not really, but they increase the amount of double strikes so much that over time, you have an attack speed of 1.00 (or nearabouts). It doesn't actually increase the speed with which your dagger swings though.

ALRIGHT!

Daggers' basic attack rate is 1.33 seconds per attack. HOWEVER. With increasing levels in Dagger Mastery, you gain a higher chance of Double Strikes. This higher double strikes will, in effect, raise your attack rate by allowing you to attack more often than is otherwise possible. Raising Dagger Mastery to 16 gives you a 1.00 second total attack rate, because you chop off that one-third of a second with your Double Strikes. You don't actually attack any faster, but a third of your autoattacks - NOT your Leads or Off-Hands - will double up.

The 1.00 seconds per attack rule only applies to a sin with 16 Dagger, as it's essentially counting the chance for Double Strike as an increased attack speed. Less than 16 Dagger will lower your attacking speed by a noticeable margin.

(GvG competitive) Daggersins aregoing for 16 Dagger, period. it's even more vital for Daggers than it is for axes or swords. Consider this before investing in a Daggersin.
