Title: Finesse doesn't work with melee. Bug or feature?
Post by: Jarkko on December 31, 2009, 06:39

Going for strongman silver using knives, picked finesse (for whizkid). @ screen still says fire speed is 1.00/sec. Is this intended? Using 0.9.9 for windows.

Almost certainly.  There's a very specific check for melee weapons.  If you want to argue that this should be changed... I might support you.

perhaps the Ironman trait should give around 5% melee attack speed due to > stronger arms>greater swing speed?
but the berzerk effect already is ahuge bonus  for melee and dont forget the TWO inredibly useful master traits
with all the talk of the berzerker trait kicking in more frequently in 9.9.1  i think AoB is starting to lose its unique WTF type of difficulty some people find so appealing...
