[quote=djp2313]So yeah, impaler is definitely slower than the psb. But si still increases psb higher. So it can't be fast (4) but its still faster than the impaler. Perhaps the impaler was slowed down?

Maybe we have something different with pas vs spears?

I don't know -- my mind is blown[/quote]

maybe we have a fast 5.5 in front of us? i have a GSB, which supposedly has the same speed that a PSB, so, shall we do some tests or something?

[quote=djp2313]How sad is it that I'd actually need an impaler in order to try it myself. L > impaler

I think you both are seeing the difference between a spear and a pa. Have you actually timed anything? Have you compared a psb to a super snowboard?
Going off feel has been providing false theories since the beginning of maple. Give me some hardcore stats.

Data can be deceiving to the viewer, it won't lie however.[/quote]

we did indeed time it with an impaler and with a psb - the psb had more hits per minute. I don't know the exact numbers though, you'd have to ask steve for that.

i tried switching from different alien weapons, only time booster didn't cancel was when i switched with a spear with the same name, all the other times, it canceled

[quote=djp2313]The main problem I have with this is that the fast 5 and fast 4 rankings are in the data. It's as simple as looking at it. PSB is fast 5.

Thanks for nothing Joe![/quote]

Thanks for believing in me Andy, I'm sure it's not just wishful thinking! There really IS a difference.

@david: What about I let you try for yourself - a psb vs. an impaler, and you'll notice the difference for yourself The data can lie.

@Ed: Post-BB booster only cancels if you wear a weapon of a different weapon speed - maybe of a different weapon kind as well, I'll need to try that out.

hrmm i neever tired the weapon switching enough.
i do knnow that impaler to impaler didn't cancel lol.

however using the psb and imapler definitely, theres a speed difference. not joking.

B> new spear.

[quote=djp2313]I thought they were fast 5 o.O[/quote]

so did I o.o but then I tried equipping an impaler (which is fast 5). PSB was noticeably faster. And Steve proved it for sure:
You know how whenever you equip a weapon of different speed, booster cancels itself ? Well, if you equip an impaler, use booster, then equip a PSB, the booster gets cancelled :b
