How does attack speed, skill speed, and cast time interact in PoE2? (Storm Wave confusion)
Hey everyone,
I'm working on a build, and I'm a bit stuck on how attack speed, skill speed, and cast time work—specifically for skills like Storm Wave.
The skill has both the Attack tag and a Cast Time, which makes me wonder:
- Does increasing attack speed, skill speed, and reducing cast time apply in the same way?
If all three work, do they stack, or is there some kind of priority or multiplication? Or is it just one type of speed stat that applies in this case?
It seems kind of dumb if the 3 does the same thing - which is why I thing I must be missing something.
Any help to clarify this would be awesome! Thanks in advance!

If you hover over skill speed on the passive tree, it will tell you that it's additive with cast and attack speed increase modifiers. Attacks benefit from attack speed modifiers, spells from cast speed modifiers and skill speed applies to both of them, but they still stack additively.
