My guess is that it adds 10.0 * weapon speed to the damage for your autoattacks, possibly modified for diminishing returns. <div></div>

DPS buffs (AA's, Adornments, Buffs) only affect Auto-Attack Damage.2. DPS, like Haste - as shown in the persona window - is  a value that transfers into percents and is on a diminishing return curve like mitigation. If you hover your mouse over the value, you get the effective %.If you only have the dps 10 adornment, your dps will raise by roughly 15%...That means if your auto-attack hits for 100, you do 115 damage.The Damage Rating of a weapon is the easy way to judge which weapon hits harder.To see the actual damage of your weapon with your current setup (STR, Attack Rating etc.), type /weaponstats.A 90 DR weapon will hit harder than a 70 DR weapon. Whether you hit or not has nothing to do with the weapon itself. It is a formula which includes your skill, the level (and con) of the mob, the mob's defensive abilities and the birthday of the "dev of the month"...</div>

<P>As above DPS and Haste only affect autoattack not your combat arts.</P> <P>DPS is how hard you hit. </P> <P>Haste (or attack speed) is how fast you hit.</P> <P>It is pretty much the case that with 100% dps you hit twice as hard , with 100% haste you hit twice as fast and with both at 100% you would essentially do 4X the damage.</P> <P>(The above is not entirely true as the last big update put a curve in that alters the actual figures slightly , but in concept thats the way it works)</P> <P>As for the adornments, THEY STACK <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />   </P> <P>I have 3 so gain an exta 30% DPS on top of the 19 I already have from AA giving me a solo 49% dps rating.</P> <P> </P> <P> </P> <P> </P>

<P>I believe the max is 125% at 200 points (cap). Also if I recall correctly, the medium is in the 60's (aka 65 points of dps = 65% dps). After that you'll start to gain less % per point.</P> <P>Glad to know the DPS adornments stack. Been building a DPS tank for instance/trash runs where a hate buffer isnt always available.</P> <P> </P>
