ok i've been wondering does atk speed effect the speed of casting or the speed of the traps shooting? cuz sorc's lightning atk rely on atk speed for it to cast faster.

IAS and FCR will not affect the speed at which your Traps fire once they have been casted. The only TRAP that can be affect with this is FireBlast.

Correct me if I am wrong, doesn't IAS affect the speed of laying traps?

IAS increased the speed of casting the traps, not the casts trapping lightning. And you are misinformed about the lightning attack being affected by IAS -- I'm pretty sure that was fixed a long time ago.

Go to JRichards great site (http://e.domaindlx.com/JRichard/D2/aas22/) for assassin speed questions :)

Traps are considered minions and if I'm not mistaken then the only way to increase their attackspeed whoud be to equip them with ias :p

... damn what a shigt I'd be to see your five traps fireing at 10 frames (this is what a sorc can do at most right?) :D traps would run out a bit fast thou I guess :lol: ... what a powerfull stunlock it'd be ...

Edit: welcome to the forum btw : )

Traps are still crippled by the 15 frame delay between decisions. The attack animation of the Wake of Fire sentry lasts just 1 frame, so without that delay WoF sentries would spam like hell and last less than a second.
