Incorrect attack speed for ranged weapons on status screen?


Although the central place for design discussion is ##crawl-dev on freenode, some may find it helpful to discuss requests and suggestions here first.

Incorrect attack speed for ranged weapons on status screen?

Was running through Lair with my CeHu today and wanted to make sure my longbow was at mindelay, so I hit @ to see my attack speed, which was listed as quite slow. I thought this was strange, since I'd hit the (base speed - min speed) * 2 skill level, so I pulled the character into wizard mode.

Hitting @ now showed my attack speed as 150, i.e. 1.5 aut per attack. However, fsim claims it's 60, which is confirmed by firing some arrows, all of which take 0.6 aut. There is one way I can get the 150 attack speed: by swinging my longbow as a melee weapon. Is that what the status screen is showing? Because if so, I'd suggest changing it to display the attack speed you'd get when firing arrows, because no sane player would ever use it as a melee weapon.

Re: Incorrect attack speed for ranged weapons on status scre

The attack speed of 150 is for if you melee with your bow. (Yes, it is misleading.)
