Or would that make it go faster than the maximum 5-tick swing speed? What about the Q-Staff/Katana?

kryss, no. It is the same at 100 as it is at 120. Likewise with the dagger.

Short spear, wrestling, qstaff, katana, and long spear are all faster at 120.

Then you get to weapons like war fork, cutlass, broad sword, scimitar, which are the same at either (6 ticks).

War axe, about the only other "fast" one-handed weapon, is 7 ticks at 100 and 6 at 120 dex.

So how would I calculate the exact dex one would need to have in order to swing say, a spear, at 5 ticks and not 6?. I'm looking at the weapon speed table and attempting to break it down by plugging in different values for stamina until I come up with an attack speed (in seconds) that is evenly divisible by .25. Would this be accurate way to find out?

Here is how I do it in excel:
=MAX((ROUNDDOWN(60000/((120+100)*$C4),0))*0.25,1.25)

Where "120" is stamina, and $C4 refers to the cell that has the weapon's speed number.

I don't know how you'd programmatically figure out the exact point, I'm sure you could, but I just manualy adjust the "120" number until I see the result change by a tick.
