Steady shot 2.0 cast speed but tooltip says 1.5 and haste not scaling with auto attacks or Steady Shot properly

Wow classic Season of Discovery

Steady shot is casting at a 2.0 speed with no speed buffs. Tooltip says 1.5 cast speed. Speed buffs reduces its cast time but they don’t seem to be apply correctly either. I’ve also noticed this interaction with auto attacks as well not being calculated correctly.

For example, I have the BFD epic cross bow which is a 2.8 speed. Steady Shot is casting at 2.0. With my 10% quiver my Steady shot is casting at 1.81 as expected and auto is at 2.55 as expected. But when improved aspect of the hawk triggers, the 30% speed is not stacking with the quiver. I’m only getting a total of 30% on both steady and auto shots (1.4 and 1.96) not 30% plus 10%.

Also rapid fire is 40% and it doesn’t seem to be interacting properly either. With my 10% quiver and rapid fire on, my steady shot is at 1.3 and auto shot at 1.8 which is only around a 35% increase total to both. So apparently the full 40% and 10% quiver is not interacting properly nor is the full 40% from rapid fire is even being applied.

I haven’t been able to test this with the new gnomer world buff yet but it does seem like rapid fire, improved hawk and the leather working BFD glove speed all are stacking but unsure if the quiver is working with them or if they’re stacking correctly because I’m not able to get everything to line up properly and write the differences down to calculate it.

All these numbers seem correct to me. What values are you expecting for the modified attack speeds?

new_steady_speed = 2.0 / (1.1 * 1.3) = 1.39
new_auto_speed = 2.8 / (1.1 * 1.3) = 1.96

rapid_steady_speed = 2.0 / (1.1 * 1.4) = 1.29
rapid_auto_speed = 2.8 / (1.1 * 1.4) = 1.81

I feel like I am missing something here.

So they are not additive. I thought 10%, 30% and 40% was 80% total speed bonus, so for the 2.0 SS with 80% would be a 1.6 reduction which would be 0.4 steady shots. Instead it’s 1.1x1.4x1.3=2.002. Then 2/2.002=0.999 steady shots vs what I thought would be 0.4.

So regardless though the SS is either bugged or the tooltip is wrong because with no attack speed modifiers it’s casting at 2.0 when it clearly states 1.5 cast time.
