Attack rating: hwo it work and how to increase it?

[Revelin]

What things can affect attack rating?
Those i suppose that affect:
-weapon that u use skill
-initiative
-??

If i use ranged weapons will braw or dimach increase my attack rate?

And i use a ql 200 home and a 153 missile, my attack rate is 735
as an opifex eng. shotgun is maxed and init is maxed too, how can i increase my attack rate?

I noticed that when u use basic buffs (expertize) the amount of buff is added direct to your rating number (20 expertize = +20 attack rate).

If i raise pistol skill (that my second weapon requires), will my attack rate increase too?

And will the attack rate increase at the same rate like the shotgun skill (that my main weapon uses) does when i raise it?
(couldnt formulate the question in another way :/ i hope u undestand what i mean)

And since my main weapon (Home defender) dont use pistol skill will the added attack rate benefit it too?

I realy would apreciate any clarify on this.

If you look at your weapons it will say
Attack Skills: Shotgun 100%
or maybe, Assault Rifle 67% Ranged Energy 33%

Your attack rating is <skill> * % + <second skill> * second % ... etc. Initiatives and special atacks have no effect on attack rating.

If you use a weapon that is 100% shotgun, your shotgun skill equals your attack rating. End of story. If you're using a weapon that's 67% shotgun 33% pistol, your attack rating is .67 * shotgun skill + .33 * pistol skill.

Raising any special will not affect your attack rating in any way.

And i use a ql 200 home and a 153 missile, my attack rate is 735 as an opifex eng. shotgun is maxed and init is maxed too, how can i increase my attack rate?

If you are wielding multiple weapons, you will see the attack rating of the weapon in you rmain hand under your stats. The weapon in your off-hand may have a different attack rating which it will not show.

I noticed that when u use basic buffs (expertize) the amount of buff is added direct to your rating number (20 expertize = +20 attack rate).

Buffing your weapons skills and spending IP on them will cause your attack rating to go up.

And will the attack rate increase at the same rate like the shotgun skill (that my main weapon uses) does when i raise it?

Again, raising skills that your weapon doesn't have listed as an ATTACK SKILL will not affect the attack rating. So raising pistol won't help your Home Defender. But it will help your Raid 9x. You only will see the attack rating of your HD in your stats menu, because that's your 'main hand' weapon.
