Maybe skills like riposte and shield bash would need some checking now when
weapon speeds came also....??... would be nice to actually do some damage with
them.... just an idea... weapon speed wont affect shields? or does it?

This could be interesting... I am thinking more like a "defense" speed. Kind
of like the current attack speed but the defense speed would be how often you
can parry/riposte. I dunno though, it might be making things too complex.
but if we did have defense speed it might also allow things like true attack
riposte etc

This would further downgrade everything that's large or in fact everything
that isn't a barsosabre or something. Are we really in need of making this new
'speed'-thing the only thing that matters in combat?
Also now there's a boon for combat speed, and considering stats in the
equation has been suggested several times. I'd just like to point out, that
who has boons? Highbies do. Who has high stats? Highbies do. Let's not tune
all new- to midbies to shit, mmm?
Pretty please, lay off with this speed thing already. It's really nice that
someone cares enough to actually implement new things, but I really fear
what's at the low end of this slippery slope.
