sure why not? i mean how fast were BMs with fists back in the days of 1.3 without mixing TT99 gear? max 2.0.... and if they werent meant to dph with fists then pls explain why skills for fists exist...
2.87 (demon) which is enough for kill and if tomes were introduced ( not sure if it was 1.4 or 1.3) would be 3.33. Skills were given because every weapon of BM has unique skill set per weapon. So, you think that if fists were meant to aps they should have not given any skills compared to other BM weapons? Even though it has a skill mastery? And do you think that Cyclone (increases aps 20% demon, 15% sage) main purpose is to be a DPH skill for killing instead using its effect for APS? To, add do you think that ☆☆Striking Dragon fists (it was in game since beta) was meant to be used for skills and DPH instead APS even though it has -0.10 speed?
I am really interested in your opinion. You look like you know this game very well.
