Awesome. Thanks for all the info man, really appreciate it.

Wow, that's a tremendous amount of info but I think I get it. So essentially, unless I have a speed buff to apply that would equal or exceed the Ranger's Swift Aim, the Ranger will come out on top given relatively equal (after Armored Grace) recovery penalties, which makes complete sense. But if I do have a speed buff, let's say Deleterious Accuracy, the Fighter should come out on top. Do I have that right?

So, i've been scouring through the various attack speed threads, and I seriously suck at math. I used to be a hardcore numbers guy in my WoW days, sapping every stat point I could, but that got old really fast and apparently my brain dumped all that math long ago. In essence, i'm trying to figure out, purely in an attack speed/recovery sense, which is more feasible. I'm looking at a 2h character with Tidefall, Durgan enchanted. I was pondering Ranger or Fighter, but for the life of me I can't figure out if Swift Aim or Armored Grace are actually more functional for reducing overall recovery with a 2her. Given equal gear otherwise, and equal stats, I know the Fighter would be capable of wearing heavier armor, but would that bonus "equal out" with the Ranger's flat 20% attack speed bonus? If the Ranger was in, let's say Durgan enchanted Hide, and the Fighter was in Durgan enchanted Breastplate, both using a Durgan enchanted Tidefall with the armor penalty reduction gloves, which would offer the best recovery speed/DPS?
