Experiments on Gun Fire Rate
These tests attempt to ascertain Cost/Benefit of using Way of the Gun with various dual guns. Thus, all tests are done under the influence of Way of the Gun.
Dual guns used were a "high utility" Dowra SE and an R5 "Max Damage" Taunes MK3. Way of the Gun was R1 but the master title was not used. A clean Chinese Dragon Set was used for the Attack Speed+ status.
Note that these tests were only done once and are not controlled for latency, though no latency spikes were observed. Number of hits was measured by counting the number of critical hit messages in system chat.
For manual combat tests click rate was not assumed to be a limiting factor. Reserve attack was set to "Not Used".
Dowra SE
Test 1: Manual Combat, no Attack Speed+
- Counted 62 hits
Test 2: Manual Combat, Attack Speed+
- Counted 66 hits
Test 3: Automatic Combat, no Attack Speed+
- Counted 54 hits
Taunes MK3
Test 1: Manual Combat, no Attack Speed+
- Counted 59 hits
Test 2: Manual Combat, Attack Speed+
- Counted 64 hits
Test 3: Automatic Combat, no Attack Speed+
- Counted 51 hits
Conclusion: Taunes MK3 was only slightly slower than Dowra SE under these conditions. Also, Attack Speed+ had a noticeable effect, but again, not by much.
It is noted that all of these tests may be limited by lag. Redoing these tests with Nagle's Algorithm off and a low MTU may result in more appreciable differences.
Another line of tests to do would be to check vivace's effect on hit number.
From your tests, it looks like gun speed is only increased 10% with Attack speed Bonus, in wheres my test with melee weapons shoes a significant increase in attack speed...hmm...Anyways, yes, Vivace will stack with Way of the Gun and will directly influence firing speed. Taunes is still slower, but I would imagine more damage is done with taunes than with dowras. As far as attack speed goes, Dowras will always outfire Taunes, regardless of the amount of speed boosts Taunes has. The only instance is when taunes gets attack speed boost and dowra doesn't but outside of that, Dowras will outfire Taunes any day.
