Pyromancer Total Speed vs Attack Speed Skills

Hi there,

I think total speed included the attack speed.

So i’ve tried this on my char, but didn’t work.

Occultist skill ‘Solael’s Witchfire’ gives you 1% attack speed
Demolitionist skill ‘Vindictive Flame’ gives you 1% total speed which includes attack speed too, so it’s more preferable for me.

But when i test out and put 1 point on ‘Vindictive Flame’ my damage doesn’t change. But when i put 1 point on ‘Solael’s Witchfire’ it works and gives more DPS.

What is the reason?

For Solael’s Witchfire, attack speed is included in the buff, so you get it whenever you have the buff active.
For Vindictive Flame, it is NOT in the buff. You have to be hit (100% activation chance) for you to get the stat bonuses.
I’m guessing that’s the problem.

Thank you now it’s clear.

That is false. That only applies to the damage and stun. The total speed and health regen are passive.

That’s not how it works. The damage and stun are part of a retaliation effect when you are hit. The total speed and the health regen are passive.

I stand corrected, thanks for pointing that out.
In that case, I don’t know why OP wouldn’t see a dps increase then.
Maybe you simply forgot to toggle the buff on?

I just tested it with Pyromancer and it increases both my attack speed and run speed. I have it at level 9.

I’m back home and retried , i confirm.

The Fire Strike remains the same when i activate Vindictive flame. But General DPS increases. So i thought it doesn’t work.

So guys here is the question should i look at my fire strike damage? or Damage per second ?

Damage Per Second
