I oppose this delete notice Edit

Look through Category:Abbreviations. Not everything there is "wording" that is "used in the game". GLF? Droks? Mods? WTB?

If, for consistency, you want to argue for deleting all of them, then I will oppose that on the basis of rationale. I don't think "wording used in the game" is a valid criterion for inclusion or not of such articles. — Stabber (talk) 21:17, 9 April 2006 (CDT)

As long as it's used widely by players to describe the game, that's sufficient for keeping it.

Just wondering: where does this term get used? To me, it definitely sounds like a shorthand developed by focused PVPers. Is it particular to any region or especially common in forum discussions on one of the major fansites? --130.58 21:32, 9 April 2006 (CDT)

It's a common abbreviation in the circles I run in, which is pretty PvP-biased. I think it is terminology imported from some other game, most likely Diablo, but that in itself is not a disqualifying feature, I think.

Meh. Good enough for me! --130.58 22:06, 9 April 2006 (CDT)

I don't believe never heard that abbreviated or that phrase used in reference to Guild Wars (unlike the other abbreviations you listed). The attack speed skills all use a different wording. As such, it struck me as a completely unnecessary page. If, however, it is in common use, I retract the delete request. The page should just be heavily cleaned up. --adeyke 21:59, 9 April 2006 (CDT)

Shortening Edit

I cut out a whole lot of info that can be found in the links already in the article. This is just about the abbreviation/term IAS, not attack speeds. --68.142.14.19 05:28, 29 July 2006 (CDT)

QuestionEdit

If you use say, Cyclone axe, or triple chop while under a 33% IAS, will you spin and hit the opponents at normal speed or will you finish attacking 33% faster?Dark0805 12:45, 20 April 2007 (CDT)

An IAS will speed up every attack, even attacks with stated execution times (like interrupts). --Fyren 14:45, 20 April 2007 (CDT)

Question2Edit

Is there an upper limit for IAS, ex: weapon of agression + Flail ? The CBR

33% IAS is the cap --- -- (s)talkpage 13:11, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
