Attack speed NOT effecting dps

When I equip and unequip an item with attack speed increase such as


attack speed increase does not register on my dps.
Is this a bug or is there a reason I am not understanding?

Thanks ahead of time

What skill are you using?

Cus' if it's a spell, attack speed does nothing.

ive never played a caster but im guessing you are playing a caster, in that case, attack speed doesnt effect the casting of spells, only cast speed does,

dont quote me on it im not 100 percent sure but i think i remember someone saying something like that before

Pretty much anything classified as a 'spell' will gain no DPS from 'attack speed'. You want 'cast speed' in that case.

That wasn't really his question though, it was why that particular ring doesn't boost his DPS.
I'm assuming it's cus' he's using spells and not attacks.

I am playing a 2h melee marauder, I didn't check specific skills, I was referring to my paperdoll dps.

You are pretty low lvl thus our auto attack deals extremely minor damage the 6% attack speed increase might simply not be enough to raise your dps on auto attack.
