Attribute - Attack Speed

Attack Speed goes hand-in-hand with Attack Power as one of the most important attributes in Like a Boss. Attack Speed can be useful in almost any situation, and is a wise attribute to invest in. An increase in Attack Speed directly affects the speed that the attack animation is played at, increasing the amount of attacks per minute that a Boss is able to deal.

Attack Speed can be increased through a variety of methods. It can be increased by various accessories throughout Like a Boss, as well as through many passive skills and armor. Some active skills also increase the base Attack Speed of a Boss for a short period of time, making it a very useful inclusion to any arsenal. Attack Speed is determined by the equation:

Rating / ((Rating + (BossLevel * 80)) * 0.5) = Percentage increase in Attack Animation

For a Boss that has an Attack Speed Rating of 1000 and a Boss Level Rating of 50, the equation would look like this:

1000 / ((1000 + (50 * 80)) * 0.5) = 40% increase in Attack Animation

From this equation the default Attack Speed animation would be increased by 1.4x. By these figures, it is extremely worthwhile to invest in increases in Attack Speed to increase overall effectiveness for any Boss.
