Summary

This page talks about the advanced mechanics of swing speed.

  • Swing speed refers to how quickly a character can perform attacks with their equipped weapon.
  • PvP Swing Speed is only determined by the weapon speed, and a players current stamina (maxed at 100 stamina).
  • For PvM it is crucial for dexxer templates to increase their swing speed in order to increase their DPS.
  • The swing speed of a character is measured by their swing delay. Lower swing delay means attacking faster.
  • Swing delay is decreased by acquiring more swing speed increase, also known as swing speed bonus or SSI.
  • Swing delay is capped at 0.5 for any given weapon, which is 2 attacks per second.

Swing speed increase is capped at 50%, which can be increased by 10% with Redline for a total of 60%.

Weapon Base Swing Speed

  • Each different type of weapon has a base speed found in the chart below, base Sec/Swing is calculated with 100 stamina.
  • Some weapons can reach the 0.5 swing delay cap, whereas others cannot reach this cap even with 60% swing speed increase.

Swing Speed Formula

The formula for calculating a player's final swing delay is as follows: 

(Weapon Base Swing Speed * (1 - Swing Speed Increase)) = Swing Delay

The formula for calculating swing speed is as follows: 

15000 / (Current Stamina (max 100) + 100) * Weapon Speed)

Swing Speed Increase Sources

There are multiple sources of swing speed increase: 

Delectable Food gives a swing speed increase of 5% + 10% * (Highest Skill / 100). Highest skill refers to the highest skill between Taste ID or Cooking

Fencing - Aggressive (stance) provides a bonus of 2.5% per rank. At rank 7 aggressive stance provides 17.5% swing speed increase.
Fencing - Flurry (finisher) provides 20% swing speed increase for 30 seconds.
Fencing - Swiftstrikes (ability) provides 5% swing speed increase per hit for 15 seconds, with a max of 25%.
Wrestling - Brawl (ability) provides 4% swing speed per hit for 15 seconds, with a max of 20%
Frenzy runes provide 7.5% swing speed increase

All sources of swing speed increase work together additively. This means that a source providing 15% and a source providing 7% will provide 22% swing speed increase.

Overcapping Swing Speed

  • When making Melee Attacks against creatures, if a player's Swing Speed exceeds their Swing Speed Cap, any excess bonuses to Swing Speed will be converted into a Damage Bonus against the creature on a 1% to 1% ratio
  • Below is an example:
A player has 75% Swing Speed bonuses for their character but a Swing Speed Cap of 60%

The player will receive a (75% - 60%) = +15% Damage bonus against the creature

Swing Speed Calculator

The Value of Swing Speed

  • Swing speed multiplies every other source of damage for a dexxer by allowing it to occur more often.
  • Due to the nature of the swing speed formula, each point of swing speed increase will give more benefit than the last.
