Brands with Faster Casting

Hi,

I have done research (trust me) and have read conflicting reports in regards to rather or not Faster Casting effects the Activation Frequency of Brands.

The most well written and mathematical break down I came across was here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/a6094z/increased_brand_activation_frequency_and/

Can anybody confirm rather or not Faster Casting increases the Brand Activation Frequency of the Brand based Skills?

Thank you,

Well, the current version of PoB believes it affects both the cast rate and the hit rate. The impact on DPS is significant.

Jesus, I'm sorry guys. I didn't even catch that right in the frakkin skill description it says that increases and reductions to cast speed effect he frequency.

I mean, I was like 1 hour of googling in and a post made and then asked my buddy. Buddy said.. ahh dude, read the skill description.

Lol

That sounds like me. No worries.
