there is something wrong with atc speed on shadow CBow on stats is faster, but on animation is slower.
shadow cbow - base speed normal / total atc speed 1500 paulina cbow - base speed slow / total atc speed 1413 and paulina's animation is much faster than shadow's one
there is better resolution I even test with atc speed bolts. same thing. probably base speed is not normal but very slow ....
The higher the base speed the lesser the time you will take from clicking autoattack to dealing damage on the enemy. However, the faster the base speed, the longer the cooldown between each shot. Nothing is wrong, this is all according to the game design. If you want top dps on archer with autoattacks for some reason, use very slow weapons with a lot of attack speed buffs.
then no mater what base speed I have ... in one minute I will make 100 shots (with slow animation and no CD between shots OR fast animation and long CD between shoots ) .... no sense here
The main difference might be that previous crossbows D-S80 were a bit different. It could be related with that since the old crossbows were considered "faster weapons" than bows and R+ grade ones are just bow equivalents. But it is just my random guess. Or maybe That Paulina crossbow has hidden Quick recovery SA. Probably you could check between low-grade crossbows if there is any difference. Especially between ones that are made from normal attack speed bows (like Carnage) and slow attack speed bows like Soul bow. If they will differ, that probably would be the answer, if not - only hidden "SA" on Paulina could explain it.
