Swing speed, stamina and SSI

Current-era formula#

For a weapon with listed speed W seconds, current stamina S and net Swing Speed Increase I: staminaTicks = floor(S ÷ 30); ticks = max(5, floor((4W − staminaTicks) × 100 ÷ (100 + I))); swing delay = ticks ÷ 4 seconds.

The formula uses current stamina, not maximum stamina or Dexterity directly. Net SSI is capped at 60 after equipment, spell and ability modifiers. Equipment SSI is capped at 10 / 20 / 40 / 60 by progression band.

Example: a 3.5-second weapon at 150 stamina#

Breakpoints and limits#

Current stamina matters in 30-point steps: 29 and 30 stamina produce different staminaTicks. Losing health can also drain stamina, which can lengthen your next swing delay. This equation is the current Mondain’s Legacy-or-later branch selected by Endless Journey. Earlier-era speed equations do not apply here.

An effect can still prevent a swing: the delay calculation does not override paralysis, range, line of sight, missing ammunition or weapon-ability restrictions.
