Guild Wars 2

what does the 10% attack speed increase mean? do I get more attacks (instead of a 3 chain I get 4) or do I deal more damage? (whole f=ma thing)
please help

The auto-attack for your first ability on your bar will swing 10% faster. So instead of doing, say, 100 swings a minute, you’ll do 110 swings a minute with 10% faster attack speed. I believe it may also speed up other abilities, though I’m not sure.

More accurately, the 10% attack speed increase is similar to quickness, meaning you will perform every skill 10% faster as long as you’re dual weilding; in other words, 10% shorter cast times.
On movement skills, for example Bull’s Charge or Eviscerate, the decreased cast time also means less distance traveled.

It works out to be effectively much less than 10% as it does not reduce aftercast and solely affects the channel time of the skill.

An above poster said that if you swing your axe 100 times with the trait you will get 110 swings instead. In actual testing you will notice you only get about 106.
