Is it just me, or this weapon is ridiculously fast at coptering? Unmodded 0.8 speed, it swings me most certinaly on par with 1.1-ish weapons. I may be mistaken, but I remember that if I tried Spoiled Strike on Dual Ichor and it went below 1.0 - it was hardly even propelling you forward. Basically, no weapon below 1.0 is copter-useful, as far as I remembered, only being better than actually stupid ass grounding non-copter weapons.

Basic testing:

0.8 Karyst - ¬15 meter thrust

1.0 Karyst - ¬30 meter thrust, practically double distance

The attack speed also seems to be... WAY higher than 1.0. I'd say 1.5, no less, I know how fast does DI swing with berserker.

Dual Ichor 0.9 seems about 15+ meters

Scoliac 1.6 - ¬40+ meters

Amphis 1.6 - also about 40 meters, but I think more smooth, rapid thrust

Don't take "meter" for meter, just my approximate "unit" of measurement. Maybe Karyst is just really swiftly propelling, but doesn't fly that long, and only seems distant, but just as with quick attack - it looks MUCH faster than 0.8 or 1.0.
