Having the most aspd bonus you can get from weapon makes you able to wear gears that gives you more reduction or damage or resistance without worrying about reaching max aspd.
For WoE maybe..., but for PvM I would argue.
There are better cards for a weapon over ASPD, when most other gears can get some form of ASPD support.
Sure you could get a total of +7 ASPD from a well enchanted BxB +14 with 2x BM. But then what?
You could swap out shoes? but there is no real CRIT buff there unless you go for WW Boots, but then you miss out on Temporal enchants like Lucky Day.
You could get a Max CRIT FAW? But that is only 10 CRIT. You also get CRIT damage increase but what is the point if CRIT is low?
You could get CRIT accessories? But what is the point when 2x Bako tats not only give you 20% ASPD, BUT 14% Damage increase.
Armours? Sure you could get anywhere from 5 ~ 27 CRIT from a WWS or even 16+ CRIT from a Sniping Suit and then enjoy the additional MDEF it provides and the reduction in delay between skills, but then this was always an option regardless of bow enchants.
ASPD is a little overated when you can achieve 193 ASPD very easily these days. Sure, stacking ASPD is good for debuff skills but look. I use 2x Bako Tats, Temp Agi Boots AD4, FULL ASPD FAW, Rudras1ASPD and a Physical Set which provides some boost, but I get around 194~198 ASPD Unbuff (capped at 193, but enough to not need IC, FE or worry about debuffs).
Fact is ASPD is more disposable with the amount of non weapon based gears that provide it.
Use Weapon slots/enchants for CRIT or damage over ASPD, but that is my opinion, the one item that doesn't full under this is an Elven Bow, since it has 50% more damage if using elvens.
