Hi, I’m looking for some input to help me decide which aspect to use! So which attack speed aspect is better for pen shot build? I find myself leaning towards rapid but I’ve yet to try it yet. Thanks for any advice in advance.
Rapid.
You can get basic attack speed other places (e.g. helm) if you want. But nothing will get all attack speed faster other than gloves. Unless I forgot something.
I think rapid.
This is because pen shot doesn’t inherently benefit from IAS - you only need it on your basic skill to generate combo points.
Accelerating aspect requires you to crit on penshot first for maximum benefit, which is not helpful.
With rapid and aheara’s, and a good pair of gloves, you should be good.
Yes thanks for the reply! I ended up testing it out myself and the 30% ias to basic skills works better definitely
Saw this and just wanted to say how much I love using both aspects on my Flurry/RF Rogue. These combined with increased basic attack speed and overall increased AS where I can get it make my Rogue infinitely more fun and just makes gameplay so much smoother. It feels really slow building combo points for my first flurry but after accelerating kicks in it’s D4 turbo…I am certainly not Bill Nye the science guy but these 2 aspects just have to be my most important ones. I’m fact I currently have Edgemasters on Xbow, Accelerating on Amulet, and Rapid on weapon. Been strongly considering demoting Edgemasters to my sword, Accelerating on Xbow, and Rapid on the ammy…maybe for ease of use and resource saving just sat screw it and put Rapid on Xbow. It sure feels like the faster my basic skills are the better off I am.
I would love to use both attack speed aspect’s, but the problem is i’m using eaglehorn for my pen shot build so I have 1 less aspect slot compared to a rapid fire build.
Yeah I figured it wouldn’t be doable on a Pen shot build…just wanted to share because at first I absolutely loathed the idea of devoting a coveted aspect slot for one that only increases the attack speed of my combo builder…but it ended up being pretty much my favorite aspect and it has done more than any other aspect for my build.
Okay I ended up dropping condemnation, I found a nice 820 dagger and slapped the second attack speed aspect on it…it’s running very nice, now I see what you were saying!
Did you max out attack speed on helm and gloves too?
Crazy fun.

This x1000! Nothing else in this game has increased my power level and fun level as much as attack speed (mostly basic skill attacks speed).
You guys think alchemical advantage is worth maxing or 1 point? And yes i got AS on both helm and gloves .
