"No Weapon" - Change to Attack Speed / Dmg

Balancing "No Weapon" Attack Speed / Dmg

Currently in the Experimental Combat Snapshot 8, Attack Dmg for fists is 2, and Attacks per Sec is 2.5. The Attack speed is among the slowest out of all tools and ways to attack which does not make any sense since punching would logically be faster than swinging a sword. 

So instead of what is currently proposed, here is what I think:
Attack Damage - 1
Attacks Per Second - 4

Yes by changing Attacks per second to 4 / Dmg to 1,  Attack Dmg per Sec decreases from 5 to 4.
However, it is already strange to me that a Wooden Hoe does 4 dmg per second, versus a fist doing 5 per second.
Using a weapon / tool should always do more damage than having no weapon / tool. It just does not make any sense.

If you disagree feel free to express that.
