Wps procs that do/don't slow down atk speed/animation

Please list wps for all classes and whether they affect attack speed/animation. belgothian shears definitely slows down attack speed, lowering single target dmg. but others are hard to tell and i am new

Particularly nightblade and soldier skills with dual wielding but list all you know please.

Belgothian shears
Amarastas quick cut
Whirling death
Execution
Fighting form
Deadly momentum (is this a proc animation or just an instant buff)
Markovian advantage
Zoltan technique.

Red text ftw :slight_smile:

Stating that on my cadence BM I only use markovian and execution.

Belgothian’s Shears is a net increase in DPS because you’re guaranteed to hit with both weapons. Normal weapon attack has only a 50% chance.

On paper it should be and probably it is if you are shard/wps BM, but after testing with cadence BM setup it seams that BS is single target dps loss cuz it ups dummy kill time average for more than 1 sec, dont know why. ACC dont change your dummy kill time average in same situation but its one point investment and you can use that point elsewhere.
Thats main reason Im using only markovian and execution.

That probably makes sense for Cadence BM because the opportunity cost of BS is hitting Cadence sooner. And a Cadence hit is a lot better on average than a typical WPS hit.

Tbh I wasn’t able to find any logic In that, cadence is overriding wps, and they are weight not % chance. Only thing that I could up with is that BS and ACC need some time to hit and thus somehow slowing your atc pace, but that’s a long shot.

Basically anything that slows down your rate of Cadence hits may not be worth it, is all I’m saying.

Well, it definitely looks something like that.
