Attack speed

"Attack Speed" redirects here. For the passive skill, see Attack Speed (passive skill).

Attack speed is a modifier to a creature's base attacks per second.

Normal attacks and attack skills derive attack speed and damage from the weapon(s) equipped. This base speed can be increased by attack speed modifiers. In general, weapons with dexterity requirements (e.g., bows and daggers) have higher attack speed than weapons with strength requirements (e.g., staves and maces).

Attack speed does not increase the rate that spells can be cast. Instead, cast speed is used for that purpose.

Dual wielding provides an automatic 10% bonus to attack speed.

Frenzy charges increase attack speed by 4% per charge.
