How fast is Shield of Terror's attack?

  Shield of Terror

I looked on the Wiki about this item's attack speed and didn't find anything about it. It seems noticeably faster, but compared to other weapons' attacks, how many frames faster?

I have this same doubt about Fencing Sword, which seems slower.

it's the same speed as other attacks

What guille said, it's the same attackspeed but it uses the unarmed punching animation sped up, which might make it seem like it attacks faster.

thx, so it was just an impression! It really seems like it attacks faster. The 51 damage seems even more unjustifiable to me now, even for day-to-day gameplay

You rarely ever need more than 50 in day-to-day gameplay tbh, I'd say it's just enough for most encounters. Couple it with some built-in armor and cheap repairs, and it's a fairly solid option, for pre-rift content anyway.
