The one for the dagger is way off, it swings a lot faster than 90 bpm two handed

This happens with loads of weapons like spears. I would like to find out what is the speed of the first hit for all types. I'm killing most things with one or two hits power-stancing spears. But can I land faster attacks based on weapon first hit?

Wow. Putting this in BPM makes me realize how slow this game is.

To be more accurate you can use a stop watch to determine the time it takes for 1 swing to happen per weapon.

There are so many gaps in this... it would be FANTASTIC if this had everything in it
