Dear Everyone Who Doesn't Understand the Attack Speed Listed on Melee Weapons,

The listed speeds are not in attacks per second, the listed speeds are an animation speed modifier. Each wepon type has an animation set that requires a certain amount of time to execute and the speed listed on a weapon alters the speed at which the animation is run. Thus Ceramic Dagger runs the dagger animations at 1.0 normal speed while Sheev runs them at 0.7 normal speed.

The base speed of the animations for Heavy Weapons is less than the base speed of animations for swords is less than the base speed of animations for daggers.

What this means is that even though weapons such as Fragor, attack speed of 0.8, have a higher listed attack speed than Sheev, attack speed of 0.7, they actual don't do more attacks per second because the base speed at which the dagger animations run is faster.
