Animation speed and DPS

Grim Dawn Modding - Tutorials and Help

I am trying to merge some mods and start running out of animation slots for some categories, which brings me to this question:
If I change the speed of an animation, does that affect the DPS of the skill ?

Of course this will depend on the animation (or skill…), eg a faster jump would not, but not sure about weapon slashes. I hope they are independent, but want to confirm.

For attacks without cooldown, yes, absolutely.

Thanks, so basically if the skills has no skillCooldownTime and the *SpecialAnimSpeed## is 2.500000 when the original is 1.000000, I would have to buff the damage of the skill to 2.5 x the current damage to not lose DPS when I switch out the custom animation for the standard animation (the .anm is the same, the only difference is the anim speed)

Yes. If the custom animation is 2.5x speed of the original, then yes.
