I'm not arguing about Skill Speed. We know that doesn't affect AA. He's saying that GL doesn't affect AA speed, which is false. I just tested again.

Duration of test: 513 seconds (8m33s)
Weapon delay: 2.56 seconds (Wave Patas)
Expected attacks if no affect: ~200
Observed attacks: 235

i think youre mistaken. No buffs affects Auto attacks. Auto attack is set per the weapon. Check your combat log or parser and youll see

WTF do you think I did? >_>

No sir, you are the one that should test here.

5 minutes no skills. 111 auto attacks.
5 minutes with GL3. 130 auto attacks.

Both done with the same gear.

No reason to get sarcastic. I just tested again and I am still coming up with identical numbers so maybe I am doing something different or wrong. Ill note it in the vid though. Thx for the input

Virdiana is the one who is correct here. Greased Lightning is an Attack Speed increase, not Skill Speed therefore it affects the amount of Auto-Attacks done.

How are you testing? I suspect there's an error in your test method, then.

[Xenosys]

Yea you guys are correct, thx for the catch! Oversight is on my part!
Apparently after reinstalling ACT has given me different results haha

Okay, good to know we aren't all insane or something. All in all, it's just one more reason why Determination is a true MAN STAT(tm) for Monks, given that it's been observed that it buffs autoattacks more than weaponskills. Um, that is the case, right?

[Viridiana]

I remember hearing that, but I don't think anyone ever provided math for it. I usually just treat AA as 100 potency per 3 seconds and call it good. . .

Yea Det IMO is the best secondary for monk. Thats a good question! In my tests I actually didnt see how much it affected Auto attacks since it is the best choice for weapon skill damage anyway. So if thats true, that makes it even better haha!
