Current: Character normal attack speed depends on
-connection
-animation cancel & input speed
-dex stat
Problem: Connection
Users with lag/delay/bad connection will have slow attack speed. Bigger population, skill effects, monster effects decrease attack speed.
Effect: Animation cancel & input speed
Some characters and skills (archer for example) are able to increase attack speed by canceling their animation. Cancel with movement input + attack. Increase input speed with movement input + attack. There are more ways to increase input speed such as file editing.

Example video of animation cancel & input speed:
A few tests with archer animation (video)

Increase animation speed of skills by 25% per 100 dex
(total dex, equipment will count)
Animation time = execution time.
Note: the effects of skills such as Elementalist hail will not end faster.
Explanation:
100 dex = -25% skill animation time
(skill is used with 75% of original animation time)
100 + 100 dex (200 dex) = -25% of 75% animation time
(skill is used with 56% of original animation time)
100 + 100 + 100 dex (300 dex) = -25% of 56% animation time
(skill is used with 42% of original animation time)
…
To prevent 0 second animation skills.
To make dex more attractive for magical classes / hybrids.
Additional change
-Skill animation cannot be canceled by jumping
-Stance skills may still be canceled by jumping (example kneeling shot, bazooka, …)
-animation of summon skills & skills by summons are affected
