What is the expected behaviour/value?

Calculation of Full DPS for counter attack skills (Riposte, Reckoning, Vengeance) should not scale with attack speed - attack rate should depend on their cooldown or user input (if specified).

What is the actual behaviour/value?

Attack rate for counter attack skills is scaling with attack speed and can be higher than cooldown allows it...

How to reproduce the issue
  1. Select Vengeance as main skill
  2. Check its attack rate
  3. Put some points into attack speed in tree
  4. Check Vengeance attack rate again

Attack rate for this skill is based on it cooldown and on how many you can proc it.

Screenshots

1: Low DPS

  • Vengeance lvl 1 with some weapon
  • Clean skill tree
  • No other gems
  • Precision lvl 40 to get 100% hit chance

2: High DPS

  • Vengeance lvl 1 with same weapon
  • Only as from skill tree (same dmg per hit)
  • Faster attacks lvl 40
  • Precision lvl 40 to get 100% hit chance

Research direction

Reproduce the issue with Vengeance as the main skill, then compare its attack rate and Full DPS before and after adding attack speed. Trace the calculation path for Vengeance, Riposte, and Reckoning and determine how cooldowns or user input should limit attack rate. Done means attack speed no longer increases counter-attack rates beyond their cooldown or configured trigger rate.
