Here was my original post on the Battle.net forums, with everything and the Devs still have not fixed the game breaking bug. It's pretty infuriating since they are the rarest gloves in the game and it took roughly 30,000 blood shards to finally get one (and with great stats) and it's perma-bugged.
I even created and posted videos of proof of how the Pet Attack speed wasn't working at all and their true attack speed with Taskers. I also found this video right in these forums showing the proper speed with the gloves equipped:
Of course I did, check the 2 links in my post. The first one shows all the proof in videos that I recorded myself and the other one is how fast the ancients should be attacking with the gloves equipped. Very easy to see the huge difference.
TO the OP. Those gloves like many things in this game don't exactly work like the tooltip says!
Your pets do not attack faster that one is true, but the gloves are not bugged! How? Simple: every AS point does not increase the AS of the pets( works the same for every class with pets), however Pets do have their DPS increased due to the increased attack speed(you can imagine this as internal AS not the one you see on scree). So that internal AS is actually transferred into RAW DMG of the pets.
You can very easily test this using T&T and another Gloves with the same stats, Works the same with AS your character gets form other sources like rings amu etc.
It is not your fault that you thought Pets Attack faster, it is blizzards and their not so informative tooltips, rather inaccurate ones

I'd have to disagree. I played a good 2 months straight with the Ancients and Tasker & Theos and then after they became bugged and I can tell you with 100% certainty that they are not working as they used to. The difference is so clear it's like comparing a 1.25 attack speed to a 3.5 attack speed difference - night and day. I wouldn't have even bothered to post about it or even waste time recording actual proof if I was not 100% sure the Pet Attack Speed affix was not working as intended.
Your Video's in your blizzard post aren't good . Lets go through it shall we.
Video 1 - Was your ancients killing Ghom with the Tasker gloves in 21 seconds.
Video 2 - Was the same but you used your IK gloves instead of Tasker. You killed Ghom in 33 seconds.
Video 3 - Was the same but you used daggers with no gems or sockets in them. Your missing out on 260% crit damage here and I can see your dps go from 790k in the first 2 videos to 536k in this video. So anyways this kill took 37 seconds.
OK so just by looking at the kill times between using taskers and the IK gloves you can see that the Taskers are roughly 50% better giving the margin of error to RNG.

It looks like the gloves are working to me.
