delays to archer from melee sets

I gather there are delays in rate of fire for archers when they equip a whip or shield.

Can anyone confirm this is the case, and what the exact penalties are to the delay?

I think tis something like 20% for whip, 30% for shield?
Is there any further increase in delay if you equip 2 whips? (does it double the delay?)
Are the delays added if you equip a whip and a shield?


Basically, trying to figure out if it'd be worth eventually dual wielding whips for pet bonuses (maxing loyalty etc to get most benefits out of it).

Dual whips is 15% slower
Shield equipped is 25% slower

If you're archer or ranger, it's worth getting pms and, taming and loyalty up, for faster and better heals/attacks from pets

tyvm, will go for dual whips then, once i get the BM skills up high enough :-)
