Standardization of WS Damage Across All Delays

[Klive]

Current system makes you decide what is more important.
-Slower and harder hitting
-Faster and lighter hitting

Fast weapons build TP faster.
Slow weapons WS hit harder.

Throw delay in to the equation, faster one become more powerful, since they will build TP faster and hit hard. Making using a slower weapon pointless.

Because of too lazy to retype it myself, this is from the thread on Garuda weapons being weaker. I have also tested weapons with different delay and seen different tp returns.

TP is always 100tp per second (TP/s) for every weapon of every type

So a delay of 4.2 would get you 420 TP per hit...
and a delay of 2.5 will get you 250 TP per hit....
So Each weapon will get you 1000TP in 10 seconds

As stated in the OP, faster weapons do not give more tp over time. They give less tp per hit, and more frequent hits, but equal tp over time.

in reality, it's the opposite- because we're limited by WS cooldowns. if building faster TP meant we could net more total WSs through X minutes, yeah, the argument for the lower delay weapons is more convincing. except when you're doing a proper dps rotation every single WS should be on cooldown, meaning those faster attacks in between are netting you worthless extra TP.

might be good for soloing or low-manning stuff where you don't have access to paeon, and an argument could be made for their usefulness to tanks... but otherwise they're pretty awful.
