Action speed is a stat that determines how fast or slow a character performs actions, such as running, swinging a weapon, casting a spell, or recoiling from being stunned.
The total modifier to the player character's action speed can be viewed on the Character screen under the Defence tab.
Mechanics
A character's action speed determines the relative rate at which its animations play, thereby affecting the overall speed that their actions are performed.[1][2] All of the character's actions that have an animated component are affected by their action speed.[3] This includes moving, attacking, casting spells, throwing traps and mines, shouting warcries, summoning totems, and recovering from stuns.
Modifiers to action speed have a multiplicative effect on a character in conjunction with stats that affect the speed of specific actions, such as movement speed, attack speed, cast speed and stun recovery.[1] Action speed does not directly modify such stats though.[3] This distinction is relevant for game mechanics that care about what those stats are. For example, the brand activation frequency of Arcanist BrandArcanist BrandTrigger, Spell, Duration, Brand
