Weapon soul shard attack speed bug

[Kroe-1120]

I have a Remnant of Pain that rolled:

• +278 Damage
• Increases Attack speed by 15%
• Critical Hit Damage Increased by 150.0%
• Increases damage against elites by 21.0%
• +28,928 Life per Hit
• +38,215 Thorns Damage
• When you critically hit an enemy, you increase the attack speed of all players by 5% for 5 seconds. Max 10 stacks.
• Your Critical Hit Chance is reduced by 15%. Attacks against incapacitated enemies are automatically critical hits.

I noticed when equipping it, my character sheet did not reflect the 15% flat attack speed increase. All other stats update correctly on my character sheet, except for attack speed.

For the sake of clarity - the stacking 5% attack speed affix works fine, and only the 15% attack speed roll is not applying to my character.

I am unsure if this issue affects only Remnant of Pain, or all weapon gems, as I don’t own another gem with attack speed.

Hi:

@Kroe-1120

I noticed when equipping it, my character sheet did not reflect the 15% flat attack speed increase.

That is not how attack speed is displayed for a weapon.

This topic in New Player Help forum explains it :

Primer on Attack Speed

This was going to be a response to a certain player that, despite having over 3k paragon, doesn’t understand how attack speed is calculated. But I figured it might help other players understand. All weapon classes have a baseline attack speed, or attacks per second. Daggers have an attack speed of 1.6 attacks per second (APS), bows and swords are 1.4 APS, etc. https://i.imgur.com/yrzTuNX.jpg Increasing attack speed can come from 3 sources: increased attack speed on the weapon itself, from par…

Best of luck in your games.

Thanks, I appreciate your response. I do see the attacks per second changing when equipping the gem.
