its weird. I put on a piece of gear or a trait that increases + attack speed and its always a couple points lower of what it should be. any reason for this?
Are you playing a 2-hander?
This is because every weapon has a base attack speed.
The attack speed displayed is a result of multiplication of this base attack speed by your bonuses
For example 2h sword has base attack speed 85% and with 10% bonus attack speed the attack speed displayed is equal
85% * (100% + 10%) ≈ 93%
I wouldn’t worry too much about it because if you got +50% attack speed you do attack with 50% higher frequency and that’s what is all about. Your total attack speed bonuses is the most useful information IMO but for some reason it’s not displayed anywhere I think.
