There have been some concerns voiced as of late involving the new one-handed weapon speeds. Today Funcom Strike Team and BCC Designer Svein Erik "Sharum" Jenset addressed this issue on the official forums.
Good news: Attack-speeds being reported as 2.0 seconds is indeed a tooltip issue.
Bad news: Some actual animation length data seems to have been overwritten or corrupted causing weird results (at least on TestLive, not verified for Live as of yet).
Status: Investigating further and digging deeper, more to come later on.
