Attack speed plateaus

Attack sped is a nice thing. The more the better used to be the general idea, but it need's to get over a certain treshhold to actualy benefit you. A lot of good things have been said about this. I use those not only for my own characters, but also for my pets.

It turns out all "melee" weapons (including staves) have the same plateaus; only xbow and longbow have their own. Class doesn't matter as I tested a few of the same weapons on both my archer and BS and got consistent results. Dual wielding doesn't have its own plateaus either. The full list of my results:

All melee weapons:
(for dual wielding, two hits counts as one attack in this list)
96-103 attack speed = 50 attacks per minute
104-104 attack speed = 52 attacks per minute
105-115 attack speed = 55 attacks per minute
116-116 attack speed = 57 attacks per minute
117-129 attack speed = 61 attacks per minute
130-130 attack speed = 64 attacks per minute
131-147 attack speed = 68 attacks per minute
148-149 attack speed = 73 attacks per minute
150-171 attack speed = 78 attacks per minute
172-174 attack speed = 84 attacks per minute
175-205 attack speed = 92 attacks per minute
206-209 attack speed = 102 attacks per minute
210-255 attack speed = 110 attacks per minute
256-261 attack speed = 128 attacks per minute
262-338 attack speed = 136 attacks per minute
339-348 attack speed = 170 attacks per minute
349-??? attack speed = 182 attacks per minute

Crossbow:
98-105 attack speed = 50 arrows per minute
106-106 attack speed = 52 arrows per minute
107-122 attack speed = 55 arrows per minute
123-123 attack speed = 59 arrows per minute
124-135 attack speed = 61 arrows per minute
136-147 attack speed = 68 arrows per minute
148-149 attack speed = 75 arrows per minute
150-179 attack speed = 78 arrows per minute
180-185 attack speed = 86 arrows per minute
186-239 attack speed = 91 arrows per minute
240-244 attack speed = 102 arrows per minute
245-250 attack speed = 110 arrows per minute
251-348 attack speed = 136-138 arrows per minute
349-359 attack speed = 170-172 arrows per minute
360-??? attack speed = 182-184 arrows per minute

Longbow:
95-109 attack speed = 50 arrows per minute
110-110 attack speed = 52 arrows per minute
111-121 attack speed = 55 arrows per minute
122-130 attack speed = 61 arrows per minute

217-310 attack speed = 110 arrows per minute
311-328 attack speed = 136 arrows per minute

These thresholds are suitable for the assassin with two swords, a crossbow and at other thresholds.

372 attacks per two minutes at 349+ attack speed is somewhat close to what I got with melee weapons - crossbow doesn't reach that plateau until 360+ attack speed though
