			== Attack Speed Cap ==
			Like most things in the game, a cap does exist on how fast one can attack. The attack speed cap is one attack per hand per second.

			=== Formula ===
			Attack Speed = Base Weapon Speed * (1 - Alacrity Prefix/100) * (1 - Alacrity Suffix/100) * (1 - Stance Bonus/100) * (1 - Alacrity buffs/100)

			:'''Example:'''
			*[[Doomfist]] = 21.5 speed (1 attack every 2.15 seconds)
			Legendary [[Doomfist]] = 18.275 speed (1 attack every 1.8275 seconds) // 21.5(1-15/100)
			Legendary Doomfist of Alacrity = 14.62 speed (1 attack every 1.462 seconds) // 18.275(1-20/100)
			Legendary Doomfist of Alacrity with -40% Alacrity buff = 8.772 speed (1 attack every 0.8772 seconds) // 14.62(1-40/100)

			In the above example, a [[Enchantment\|Legendary]] Doomfist [[Enchantment\|of Alacrity]] with -40% Alacrity buff would be considered inefficient as the player has exceeded the speed cap and receives no benefit from additional attack speed.

Increased weapon speed is represented by a ''negative'' modifier in-game. This is to show that the modifier is reducing the delay between weapon swings.

			== Pros and Cons ==
			A fast weapon speed results in more damage per second (DPS). However, so too can increased damage per swing. Below, we weight the pros and cons of a faster attack speed versus more damage per swing.

			'''Pros'''
			* Spike damage, which is difficult for healers to predict.
			* More chances for a [[Proc]] to fire.
			* Better chance of bypassing [[Fortitude]]

			'''Cons'''
			* Increased stamina usage
			* Vulnerability to [[Damage Shield]]s

'''Attack Speed''' is the rate at which a character swings their weapon.

== Modifiers ==
Each weapon has a base weapon speed score, as shown on its mouseover. This score is further modified [[enchantment]]s placed upon it, and the wielder's own attack speed buffs (if any).

Increased weapon speed is represented by a ''negative'' modifier in-game. This is to show that the modifier is reducing the delay between weapon swings.
