Frenzy seems to have three effects:
- Infinite ammo
- 100% crit hit rate
- Increases attack speed
You can see the attack speed increase in those vids Kenero quoted from nana.
.-.
I guess that limits attack speed increase usefulness to normal attacks only.
Not sure if it's worth the lag and 33 max, then.
if i were actually using gun, i'd go with speed set, since normal attack is really useful in gun combat.
but since frenzy is all what ill be using for gun for now... ill stick with my current gear.
How useful is it when paired with another skillset?
1attack = 2hit for gun.
with attack set, less delay till the next move.
I don't understand what you're saying. ;-;
aww i guess you ain't really used to old IBC stuff.
well, when you land 2normal attack on mob, they will attack you back with normal attack 100% due to the mob's AI(unless you crit .-.)
so attack all enemy around you with gun and you'll have all mob charging at you.
This allows you to gather mobs that are spread all over the room easily.
After attack,perhaps use crisis or AoE pet then proceed to something good AoE like act7, cs, lance charge, or wm.

Although crisis reforge on hat will solve this problem mostlikely[/S]
Even if I do...I'd have to make my armor an attack speed set. And would the attack speed bonus throw off my melee attacks for swords?
I hear it makes you attack faster, but it does not effect stun.

if youre using gun JUST for frenzy, you don't need automatic es on Dowra SE since Dowra SE + Frenzy already hits max attack speed on it own.

Attack speed buffs for melee increase speed of attacks without reducing stun, yes. So a Fast weapon isn't as good as a normal weapon with an attack speed set. However, the max you can reach with attack speed buffs for melee is Fast, you cannot Fast>Very Fast, and attack speed does nothing to Very Fast melee weapons either (which is why it's weird that White Dragon Knuckles have a speed set). However, attack speed buffs work differently for archery, not sure how. Attack speed shouldn't effect Alchemy or Magic (but Vivace for example has a separate effect specifically for them), and Guns, Very Fast is not the limit, no matter what tier of attack speed, attack speed effects will still help guns unless you're like, using three sources of an attack speed buff, from what I remember, Frenzy+Attack Speed Set Effect is max speed.
Frenzy doesn't give max attack speed, it just increases attack speed considerably. Having an attack speed set + frenzy is much faster than either alone. Theoretically, having both is the max since vivace doesn't seem to help in the actual speed when all three are placed iirc, but vivace an speed set work differently so it is helpful in different ways iirc (idr how).
Remember, with guns, don't think of the max speed as how much you can reach endgame, think of max speed as how much your client can handle with your lag. It doesn't matter if you can attack 20 times in a millisecond if you cannot execute it that many times.
