BUG: Attack Speed

[Tan Tish The Fish]

As the title says, I stumbled across an attack speed bug while playing endless mode. If you get a character to around 200 skill in agility and attack, and hold both the block and attack button down, he will skip about half the frames in his attack and attack again. It isn't effective at low levels, but once you get to a mid tier character you ♥♥♥♥ on enemies far above your weight class because you can attack so much faster than they can.

Its a known issue for quite a while, but we've left it for balancing:

the game is so brutally hard, if you do manual control on top of everything, we're giving the player a few super powers to combat the AI thinking way faster.

It's not exactly fair, either way.

We could slow the AI down and also limit the retrigger-rate for attacks, but is that more fun?

Quite honestly, I think the ability to kite enemies around when you mind control a gladiator is more than enough to punch above your weight class. There is typically enough knockback on every class to win most fights without issue and take little damage in the process.
