Attack speed hack?

[impp]

Seen something odd in the warzone recently, wondering whether there is a hack being used that increases warrior attack speed? Is there one?

Seeing a barb hit 1500 normal, 1200 normal, 1200 normal with a spear at a speed as fast as the fastest knight sword/rapier makes me think something fishy is going on? (it was 3 hits in 2 seconds max).

Can there be that many +attack speed items to get a v. slow spear to fast?

I was told to get a video of it but apart from not having the software for it, I also have not been able to take any screen shots since the 1.78 update....

Not necessarily a "hack" but I believe a bug allowing this to happen can be reproduced. I think it involves something along the lines of moving back and forth in and out of attack range or something, idk

or it could just be lag, who knows

It can also just be Fulminating with +AS gear. With Fulm buffed, this kind of damage is possible out of low-damage medium-speed weapons for Barbarians. Hunters do the same thing with Cold blood and Rapid shot, although with those new armors its not nearly as good as it used to be.

There are barbs in the game that can swing their weapons at "very fast" speed.

Okay thanks. I'll have to keep my eye out. It was not the moving forward/backward thing, he was chasing.

Something for NGD to think about maybe, if a conjurer was near me he would have had a hard job of matching that damage rate with any healing - 3700 damage in two seconds. Barb damage and damage per second increased with level 60 cap but with no increase in healing spell caps...

or lock damage for that matter.

As already mentioned multiple times on this forum, mage damage or in this case heal power should be made depending on the staff the mage wields. Just imagine a lvlcap of 100 without changing anything in the spell system, the only class that will suffer a lot will be the mage.
