Drunken Master on a Moebius Blossom?

Irrelevant to this thread. YES Yan... irrelevant to this thread.
Perfectly relevant to PvP.... and to things not involving PvE-exclusive skills....
But irrelevant to this thread.
But you're still right.

Now here is your trophy:

Moebius and Death Blossom take the same amount of time to recharge either way.
The extra attack with 33% IAS doesn't interfere with the time taken to activate the skills... so it is basically a free attack with no extra time required. It might only be a measly 10 damage or something, but it is a freebie... and will get an extra point of energy with Zealous daggers (or more if Critical) / extra health with Vampiric daggers. I'm not talking about the recharge, I'm talking about attack speeds. Moebius starts RECHARGING at 0 seconds; a 2 second timer begins. at .8778 seconds you pop off a Death Blossom. at 1.7556 seconds, Moebius is still not recharged, so your character just does an autoattack instead. The next point where you attack is at 2.6334 seconds, which is when you would next hit with Moebius, or, the restart of the timer. Therefore, it takes 2.6334 seconds to go through one loop.

Now, for the 15% IAS, the attack speed is one attack per 1.1305 seconds. So, start Moebius at 0 seconds. at 1.1305 seconds, you use DB. Then, you use Moebius again at 2.261 seconds, since it recharged at 2 seconds. So basically, a loop of Moebius and Death Blossom takes 2.6334 seconds for a 33% IAS, with an autoattack included, while it only takes 2.261 seconds for a 15% IAS, no autoattacks. Therefore, it takes less time to complete and continue a Moebius chain with a 15% IAS than it does with a 33% IAS.

Let us try this again....
IAS does not influence skill recharge. It will however influence how long it takes to ACTIVATE an attack skill... thus an attack will be done and the next one usable faster.
Naturally... faster IAS in this case means you can chain off the attack skills faster too.
And since it doesn't influence the recharge... this means a slightly longer gap while waiting for them... into which an AutoAttack can easily be slotted.

As such... the comparisons end up rather like this (total time being Moebius recharge):

00% : MS------DB--
15% : MS----DB----
33% : MS--DB--A--

Under 15% IAS... the time to execute Moebius Strike is longer, and thus Death Blossom cannot be triggered so quickly... and likewise takes longer to trigger itself, taking up the remainder of Moebius Strike's recharge time.
Under 33% IAS... the time to execute Moebius Strike and Death Blossom are less, meaning DB can be used sooner and likewise ends sooner, leaving more of a gap after, during which an auto-attack can be used. Furthermore, even if the autoattack is a micron of a moment late (unlikely, being an automated process), Moebius Strike can still cut in immediately upon recharge so no time is lost (autoattacks don't use dedicated time). The loops are exactly the same length either way.

It is all quite elementary really.
