    I have never really paid attention to the weapon delay. Did anyone actually test it out if 2.24 weapon delay means that every 2.24s, you do an auto? WAR does take ages to hit, that I know. Either way if the calculation is right, I wouldn't call ~10% more DPS on a 2.24 weapon delay off SwO a huge boost. I legit thought the change is made to encourage SwO tanking more optimal for that ~+5% overall DPS. FeelsBadMan

    Note: In fight like A5S, I did close to 30k on SwO. The change will add another 3k damage, which by far isn't anything huge. Good change but not anything huge to compete against DRK for that MT slot OR even OT slot if any tbh.

    The way SwO works currently is it does 50potency attack every autoattack you do meaning the lower delay on weapon the better it scales.

    50pot / 3s delay = 16,67pot/s
    50pot / 2s delay = 25pot/s
    50pot / 1s delay = 50pot/s

    If they just increased the potency to 75pot it wouldve been pretty big deal.
