Attack Speed changes
Once a player surpasses 4.0 attack speed, whether passively or via a buff, they will incur a -5% damage penalty as well as a -20% accuracy penalty.

As said on patch note.

EDIT: Made a mistake on title, only chars that surpasses 4.0 aps

EDIT 2: Could a mod rename this thread as "Chars with aps above 4.0 gets a penalty now!" please?

    The penalty isn't that big.

    5.0 at 95% is still better than 4.0 at 100%.

    And since most characters use Sky Cover or Sign of Frost: Chaos, the -accuracy% is non-issue.

    But I don't care either way, I'm sage.

    Eh its not so bad. I think its rather annoying, but attack shards and accuracy acc/shards will help with the -5 percent and -20 percent accuracy.

    Still angers meh.. MEH

    5% damage penaly, lol

    20% accuracy penalty, i guess would work a tiny bit better if evryone didnt have +50% accuracy rings

    It's not good for 5.0 G15 sins, which means the 4.0 r9 sins are laughing their ***** off right now. That's kinda the unfair part x.x

    So the wording confuses me a little. 4.0 gets the nerf too or only once you reach 5 aps?

    I am more interested in this line
    Gameplay Fixes
    The Psychic's "Ancestor: Sol" 3-piece set bonus now correctly grants 1,500 Soulforce.
    Venomancers may no longer (under certain conditions) cast spells while in their animal form.
    Fixed a bug where players were able to enable Caster Nirvana multiple times a day.
    The Faction Base Guardian Trials may now be initiated by the Faction's Marshals, save for Trial 6.

    Everything has its beginnings, but it doesn't start at one. It starts long before that... The world is born From zero. The moment zero becomes one is the moment the world springs to life. One becomes 2. 2 becomes 10. 10 becomes 100. taking it all back to one solves nothing. so long as zero remains... One.. Will eventually grow to 100 again.

    surpasses = get over 4 aps. 4 aps ppl should be safe then.

    Only those that surpasses 4.0, I made a mistake on the title and I've edited my first post saying it.

    I think they are just trying to do something not noticeable enough to **** off the vast multitudes of 5.0 chars, while giving casters and other players who want a fix the illusion that their pleas are not being ignored.

    Not a big deal imo...

    For claw Barbs at least, you have the STR buff, Accuracy buff, and the new stackable ATK buff for Barbs.b:shutup

    I'd assume it means the one 79 skill. I can't fully remember what it was though.

    lol R9 4.0 just went from equal to G15 5.0 at +12 to now beating it XD I feel very sorry for all the second cast vana people and the G13 dagger people will now be crying in a corner as well.

    there are 2x lvl 79 skills, one in fox form, one in human form (same effect). Why would they remove it ?

    This nerf is weak imo, should've been a more higher damage penalty, since this is their plan.
