Charged blow is faster (same frames as regular attack) than the three attacks mentioned above, but hitting faster would also depend on your weapon attack speed and if you have speed infusion buff on too.
So I made a chart to calculate the mp consumed per second for each warrior class in the simplest situation -- spamming main attack skill *All skills are lv30 *Lowest speed of Sword/mace/axe is slow (8) *Sword/mace/axe don't influence the result Brandish of Hero consumes highest MP per second in the assumed situation...
i thought so too, specially when a hero has si with a stonetooth, but i wonder if the flame sword is as fast as the st?
Wep att speed Slow = 7 Fastest = 2 Booster and speed infusion give -2 (-4 if both) Claymore is normal = 6 Stonetooth is Fast = 5 Flame sword is Faster = 4
