I searched, couldn't find anything, though I do remember this discussed -somewhere- before, though I can't remember the answer.
Does IAS effect attack skills that already have a set activation time?
Quick Attack speed Question

Alright fellas, since you said try it out with a spear, you can too.
Take [[Mighty Throw] and [[Aggressive Refrain]. First, use Mighty Throw without Aggressive Refrain and you'll notice the little "skill activating timer" (I forget the actual term for that.) Now use it with Aggressive Refrain active, and all of a sudden, it's gone! I'm willing to believe that means its activation time is decreased.

Now say I use an Attack Skill that has a 1s Activation Time on it. The Activation time under an IAS remains Unaffected. However the speed at which it will move WILL be affected. I find the spear the easiest way to demonstrate this as it is sometimes hard to differentiate with closer combat melee weapons and Bows all have different Flight Times. |
