Is there a way to increase attack speed by 2% for each point of agility?

@KillerAmoebaswat: Go

Yes, in fact attack speed can (by default) ONLY be increased by a percentage. Just go to your agility stat and then:

Modification >> Combat >> Attack Speed Multiplier >> and change 1.00 to 1.02.

That doesn't seem to work. I tested it on a hero with 50 agility and 1.5 weapon speed.

50 agility is +100% attack speed. The weapon speed should be decreased by (-0.75). It is actually decreased by (-0.94).

I want an attack speed bonus of (1+(.02 x agility)), right now it is giving me an attack speed bonus of (1.02^agility)

if you plug 50 agility in for the first one- you get 200% which is what i want.

if you plug 50 agility in to the 2nd you get 269% which is what i'm getting.

Do you have any suggestions?

I am kind of new at this. Is there a way to directly edit weapon speed using triggers? is there a way to access an attribute such as agility using triggers? can you move this to the triggers forum?

I did exactly what csmakoinfused suggested. I'm almost 100% positive i did everything correctly.

It used to work as you want it. However Blizzard changed the stacking mechanisms for many % bonuses of behaviors with patch 1.4 to not stack additively but multiplicatively. I am not exactly sure, why, all it does is screwing up quite some of my systems.

€ attack speed seems not to be affected by the change, it seems, at least it does work as usual for me.

I guess i messed something up if it works for you guys. i'm just not sure what i messed up.

if anyone thinks of what i might have done to achieve this multiplicative effect plz let me know.

thanks for your help everyone

I found what is causing it in the wiki. if anyone is interested.

on this page: http://www.sc2mapster.com/wiki/galaxy/data/behaviors/veterancy/ it says: Behavior - Veterancy Levels - Modification - Attack Speed Multiplier Is multiplicatory if the Combine Numeric Modifications flag is enabled

at least this is what i thought. But it's still multiplicative and i did not solve my problem.

Right, sorry. I forgot to mention that it is +2% of your CURRENT attack speed. So basically it's: 1.50 + 2% + 2%, etc. for each stack of the agility attribute.

Unfortunately from my experience there is no way to make it use a flat percentage that is based off of your BASE amount of attack speed, rather than your current amount of attack speed.

A workaround is to possibly use upgrades since they do base the increase of attack speed off the base amount.
