Attack Speed increases

[ramier]

I played the most recent nightly (r2041) with randarts, and after running around dlvl98 for a while scumming for items, I haven't come across any item yet in the whole game that has +attackspeed or +shootingspeed. Have these been removed from the game in recent nightlies, or are they just so rare that I could go a whole game without ever seeing one?

Also, how old is the 3.1.2v2 beta version? I've been playing nightlies every new game, but I thought it might be better if I stuck with one version...so should I stick with that beta version? Are there any major changes since then that I might have gotten used to from playing nightlies?

The power rating for non-weapon items with extra blows or shots has been significantly increased, so no, you aren't likely to find them any more. My last randart game had precisely one item with +1 shot (which sucked otherwise), and one item with +1 blow (which also sucked otherwise).

The idea behind this is that once every few thousand games someone will find an awesome thing with +3 blows and everyone will go "ooh, randarts are broken" ... but most of the time they won't occur. So it looks like it's working so far.

One of the elven rings had +3 blows in my last game. I didn't find it though.
