Increased Attack Speed Nerfed In Diablo 3 Patch 1.0.3



A nerf to the increased attack speed (IAS) item modifier comes along with the new 1.0.3 patch to Diablo 3. Diablo himself is reportedly waiting to take revenge against all those adventurers who hurt him with those pesky increased attack speed items.

Quoting from the Battle.net Forum post:

As a reminder, we will be nerfing "Increases Attack Speed" (IAS) effects on all items except quivers with the 1.0.3 patch. Please note that this change does affect unidentified items as well, as item affixes and ranges are determined at the time of an item being dropped, and not when identified.
Characters with IAS on their items will see a drop in their character sheet damage, as character sheet damage takes into account attack speed (among other factors).
This change should not be confused with the Legendary buffs coming in a future patch (not 1.0.3), and those buffs, as previously mentioned, will not be retroactive.
