Attack Speed Increased by 8-9%
Increases Attack Speed by 8-9%
I thought this was just an odd bug, but it turns out that the belt in question actually can spawn with either of those mods. What's more—and here's what's frustrating—the 'Increases Attack Speed' modifier doesn't seem to do anything at all. When I put it on, it doesn't change my APS in my details panel, nor does it seem to make any difference in the rate at which I drain my AP (though this is admittedly hard to test).
Anyone else noticed this? A bug? Is there a reason why there are two mods?
This is simple, the increases attack speed increases the overall atack speed, and it can be on any item, while other stat can be on weapons only.
Obviously incorrect here, because plenty of legendary items say they can roll either mod. Goldwrap is just one example.
@brx: Either way it should increase my character's overall APS value, but Increases Attack Speed does not. I've tried putting on two items (Boj Angles and Goldwrap) that total about 20% Increases Attack Speed and burning out my AP with no noticeable difference in speed, so I don't think it's just a lying character sheet either.
Bottom Line: Watch out when buying items like this on the AH.

I do, of course. It indicates no change in APS or damage. I was just doing further testing to see if the character sheet was lying.
