Projectile Rate

Base projectile rate at stage 1 without any increased cast speed is .625 per second.

The first stage does not gain projectile frequency. Therefore 10 stages gives (9 X 15) = 135% increased projectile frequency. The plus 2 maximum stages helmet enchantment adds 30% projectile frequency.

All cast speed modifiers are additive with the increased projectile frequency. Therefore a 10 stage winter orb with 100% cast speed has (135 + 100) = 235% total increase projectile frequency.

150% more projectile frequency will multiply your projectile fire rate by 2.5 while channeling.

Example of projectile fire rate while channeling at 10 stages and 100% increased cast speed:
