Weapon Normalization

[Concillian]

Hmm. I admit I haven't given it too much thought but I was thinking a slower weapon would benefit run-n-gun more due to attack speed not being dependent on the weapon but your situation. If I'm running away from mobs and can only afford to turn around and pop off 1 shot every 2 seconds (due to my run speed vs the mob's), I would think a slower weapon would fare better. At the least I see it boiling down to being basically the same. I guess I need to test out how quickly you can get that 1 shot off with different weapons. Is there no "rest" period between shots on slower weapons? Does the animation actually occupy the entire time between attacks?

I dunno about DH, but on the wiz, cast speed definitely seems influenced by weapon speed. The amount of time standing still is longer with a slow weapon, which affects your ability to run. For something like frost nova, then unload 3 arcane orbs while frozen, 2H might make sense. For something like slow time, kite around the bubble and get 1 shot here and there, well then a faster combo may be better.
