I've noticed how 2-hand and 1-hand weapons can have the same DPS, but very different attack speed making attacks per second more or less frequent. Hatred generation skills' descriptions don't say if you get n hatred per hit or at 1x attack speed rate and I couldn't get any weapons with different enough APS rates to conclusively measure the hatred generation rate, but I suspect that affects it.
Does attack speed (attacks per second) affect how much hatred you can generate?
Best Answer
Yes. The generation is per-use unless it says otherwise. This means the faster you shoot, the faster you generate.
I am fairly certain you do not need to hit anything to generate hatred. You can generate hatred by shooting at nothing.
