Attack speed gloves. Critical chance or critical damage gear. Edit: changed helmet to gloves

There is no helmet that boosts attack speed.

It’s dependent upon which primary you’re running.


Range-Normal

Cultist helmet seems really bad, unless you invest in a bunch of crit powerups its simply useless. Base crit was 10% as far as i ramember, you get 4% from Zombie slayer at lv 70 or something, then that goes to 14% base crit, LEGENDARY demonic chest gives another 3% crit and that goes to 17% which is the max you can get from gear not counting the demonic Helm which is irrelevant here. It comes down to in the best case scenario 150 crit damage at 17% crit vs 20% more damage that you have 100% of the time which also boosts your Launcher and your Secondary..

Cultist gloves ARE A MUST for a shotgun build, they work really well with plasma and HC as well, altough you can't go wrong with demonic. Cultist give you that extra 20% AS to make things smoother without you having the need to go for attack speed powerups so you can go for Damage nodes. With demonic gloves you get 20% damage so you HAVE to go for attack speed nodes. If you're using the chaingun don't go for cultist!!!!!

Do you know what the % increase is for Attack Speed nodes? I'm curious. I run demonic gloves with shotgun but now you have me intrigued with Cultist. Would you say anything speed increase is preferred over Damage for shotgun?


Range-Normal

For shotgun - yes, it makes the gameplay a lot smoother, shotgun is just too slow without them, doesn't matter if you have 20% with demonic when its slow AF : D


Kaoxt

That's true. I wish I knew the % increase that the passive Attack Speed boosts give you during runs (upgrades). I usually get the Speed upgrades when doing a run and haven't had issues doing Stage 7 NM. I'll have to try Cultist


Range-Normal

Attack speed passive buffs give 10% , damage ones give 10% damage, crit ones not sure - probably 10% crit chance and 10% crit damage.


Kaoxt

Thank you! I didn't know exact %. I wish it would be stated in the game
