How fast should the balance recovery on a warrior weapon be?

Kio

I know the general rule of thumb is to floor damage, bring speed to ~230, and max out precision, but I'm a bear, so that won't work.

If 230 speed is considered "standard," how fast will it be hitting at baseline balance?

How long is the length of a knockdown?

My goal is to find a speed that will help me mitigate a little of my tae'dae slowness, but I need to know where to aim!

(And no mentions of Tae'dae being horrible warrior race - I promise I understand, I just like being a bear.  I'm gonna roll with it.  It beats slamming my shieldstun alias over and over and over.)

230 speed along with aslaran balance bonus usually puts recovery at around or below 3s mark.

230 speed at neutral balance krokani was somewhere in the neighbourhood of 3.5-4s. The slightly slower krokani speed compensates by additional precision from racial and burst wounding.

Knockdown is a little variable and depends on specialization. If I recall correctly, bonecrusher is around 1.5-2s, and axelord is around 2.5-3s. I assume cavalier, as a two-hander, would be similar to axelord. Not much hope of double tap, if that's what you're aiming for.

/doesn't say it.

If you go cavalier (they have tendon now!) tae'dae with nightkiss and artifacts, your wounding won't suffer as much since you'll have to crank up the speed a bit since you're a slowbear.

I went with slower weapons because I liked the higher wounding. Play around with stats, you can change them easily. Find the play style that fits you.

I'm running around with a 220 speed these days and cranking the precision up to levels of "Why would you do that?" it's absolutely brilliant for group fights and for low to mid tier combat. The .1 second swing difference doesn't seem to make up for the 11 points of prec.

As a bear though you'll be getting equal to a second round of Nightkiss or Coal rune stats on your bardiche purely by being Tae'dae. So it'll be feasable for you to go up to 240 speed and still have high precision.
