I'm getting annoyed with this completely arbitrary analysis on both sides of the argument, so let's do some math with a log that was posted from early 2002. Shortened to only include AoW swings. It never flurries, so it was almost certainly crippled by this point in the fight. I separated what seems like "swing" rounds, this almost perfectly works between seconds. Only once did I group swings from one second with another, and that was because at :49 it only swung twice, and at :50 it swung once, and then again three times at :51. Instead of getting 3 shitty rounds in a super small period I assume it was a server timing issue as :49 rolled to :50 so I grouped that together.

Posting this now and doing a bit more in depth analysis when I get time.

29 misses, 67 hits from swings. We can pretty safely assume around a 70% hit rate.

19:50:22 to 19:51:09 = 47 seconds, and 96 swings = 2.04 swings per second

Most swings in any one second: 5
Most damage in any one round: 2439
Number of attack rounds: 28
Average number of swings per round: 3.4
Estimated delay from this: Almost exactly 1.5
