Question...wtf does weapon attack speed do in the game, if most weapons are locked by the GCD? So, like what is the difference between a 1.4 speed dagger vs a 2.0 speed sword? I haven't parsed anything yet; heh, don't want to get too deep into the number crunching like I was in WoW/EQ until I decide to play. But as far as I can see, with most strikes actually being combos and locked by the GCD; wouldn't the attack speed just do nothing? Is it only there for the DPS number? (It seems most weapons use the DPS number in equations and not base damage numbers.)
