Attack speed limit 200 and, slow debuff?

Grim Dawn Gameplay Discussion

Obviously the attack speed cap is 200.
What I don’t understand is…
Let’s say, my character exceeds the Attack Speed cap and hits 230 Attack Speed.
The question is…if a monster (say, a Calagadra) puts , e.g. -30 slow debuff on me,
I don’t know if my character’s attack speed goes to 200 or 170.

This game is number one in the world for inconsistency, so you can’t easily guess any questions. Is this a unique advantage of this game? lol

If anyone knows exactly, please answer…

pretty sure speed vs slow debuffs works the same as resist and RR, not 100% sure, but i feel like that’s what i saw ages ago testing it against the kymon slow bois
so should be 200 in your case just like how 80+30 resist is 80 after -30res
important to remember there are different types of slow debuffs, and just like RR they stack, and some will have higher effect than others (like %reduced)

Yeah going over the cap helps you when you’re slowed. That being said going way over the cap is usually costly so if you go 15+ over or w/e it’s a nice bonus, but not something to worry about.

Thanks…I was actually guessing it would be similar to RR as well

Thanks…I used to think that attack speed above the limit were a waste, but now I don’t think so.

If you can afford it it’s nice but IIRC I have not seen anyone build for it specifically.

because getting slow res is easier and more effective than stacking 30-40 speed overcaps :sweat_smile:
