I was browsing on the wiki, and I have spotted an interesting shield called the Swiftstrike Buckler which enhances attack speed. So my question to that is, what happens if you are already wielding a very fast agile weapon; like the Winmillion or the Hunting Blade? Will it make a significant difference? Has anyone experimented on that before? Is it good?
Because if so, that means your guy is lighting fast and powerful.
But if not, why not? Who doesn't want to strike their foes a lightning speed? It would be awesome and godly!
It does have a noticeable effect, not very useful on the Cutter series (mostly makes the charge attack easier to pull off without a scrape), but it has good use. The downside and glaring deterrent is the lack of defensive ability the shield has, so you don't really have much to defend yourself with.
Also, the attack speed increase used to work with Handguns, not sure if it still does.
