I wondered why my Full Dex SR was shooting much slower than this random fletcher hackapell that was shooting mobs around me (no QS3 on both of us). So I sacrificed a stat potion just to have some solid evidence rather than just speculation.
Playing from Singapore to Klaipeda Server.
240-260ms Ping, Swift Step and Limacon on, test done standing still in highlander master training room, no fps lag and stable-ish ping in that area.
Counting for 10 shots, values below in seconds
Crossbow:
120 Dex = 8.1
Kneeling (+300 aspd) 120 Dex = 7.6
Pistol:
74 Dex = 7.1, 7.2, 7.4
80 Dex = 7.2, 7.2, 7.3
100 Dex = 7.3, 7.3, 7.4
120 Dex = 7.4, 7.4, 7.4
170 Dex = 7.1, 7.2, 7.3
230 Dex = 7.2, 7.1, 7.0
280 Dex = 7.0, 6.9, 7.1
340 Dex = 6.7, 6.7, 6.9
390 Dex = 6.7, 6.9, 6.5
Conclusion:
390 Dex - 80 Dex = 310 Dex
Assuming that 1 Dex = 1 Attack Speed, this matches up the crossbow test with kneeling shot.
About 0.5 seconds saved in 10 shots, 0.05 seconds every shot on average.
Patk lost to save this 0.05 second per shot = 750 from 300 STR not added.
High Latency Players: Don’t bother with Dex for Attack Speed. Kneeling shot, Quicken or Running shot for Attack Speed is a small bonus only.
If anyone wanna donate me a stat potion it’ll be appreciated so I can go full STR
Edit: The donation part is just a joke, I have a spare stat reset.
