Spell Attack Speed

SE_AttackSpeed

• Standard Haste and Slows

  • Baseline attack speed is set at a value of 100.

  • This spell effect modifies that value.

    • Haste

      • Haste spells will have a value greater than 100.

      • Haste amount is calculated at (Value - 100).

      • Example: Swift like the Wind (Value = 160)

        • 160 - 100 = 60% Haste

      • Haste Caps

        • Lv 60+ = (100)

        • Lv 51 - 59 = (85)

        • Lv < 50 = (level + 25)

    • Slow

      • Slow spells will have a value less than 100

      • Slow amount is calculated at (100 - Value)

      • Example: Sha's Legacy (Value = 35)

        • 100 - 35 = 65% Slow

      • Stacking: Slow will always overwrite haste in the same spell slot.

    • Slow Mitigation

      • Set in npc_types table 'slow_mitigation'

      • Decreases the potency of a slow effect by a percent as defined in the table

SE_AttackSpeed2 (98)

• Stackable Haste (w/ SE_AttackSpeed) that does not go over the haste cap

  • Calculated same as SE_AttackSpeed

  • Value stacks directly with with SE_AttackSpeed.

  • Example: Swift like the Wind (60%) + Composition of Ervaj (10%) = 70% Haste

  • Can also be used a stackable slow effect as seen in Al'Kabors Spiral of Deadly Force​

SE_AttackSpeed3 (119)

• Stackable Haste (w/ SE_AttackSpeed + SE_AttackSpeed2) that can go over the haste cap

  • The direct spell effect value is added to the haste derived from SE_AttackSpeed and SE_AttackSpeed2 and will exceed the haste cap.

  • Example (IF CAP AT 100): Swift like the Wind (60%) + Composition of Ervaj (10%) + Item Haste (30%) = 100% + Ancient Power (10%) = 110% Haste

  • Can also be used as a stackable slow effect as seen in Taking Root​

  • Overhaste Caps

    • Lv 51+ = (25)

    • Lv 1 - 50 = (10)

SE_AttackSpeed4

• Stackable slow effect (w/ SE_AttackSpeed)

  • When slowed by SE_AttackSpeed: This effect decreases the remaining portion of your attack speed value NOT lowered by standard slow

  • Example: (SE_AttackSpeed) Sha's Legacy 65% slow + (SE_AttackSpeed4) Lassitude 25% slow

    • Sha's Legacy is calculated as 100 - 35 = 65% slow, therefore the remaining attack speed is (35)

    • Lassitude will now decrease the remaining value (35) by 25% = 16.5%

    • The total slowed value on the target would be 65% + 16.5% = 81.25% slow

  • When NOT slowed by SE_AttackSpeed: This effect acts as a regular slow, decreasing attack speed by the full amount.

  • Note: The base value should always be set as a positive. There are a few examples of spells with negative values, however all of their descriptions indicate it as a slow effect (It is likely developer error)
