Are attack speed bonuses factored into the DPS figures?
According to Are +maximum damage and +minimum damage enchantments factored into weapon DPS?, damage modifiers are rolled into the overall DPS number. Is this also true for Increases Attack Speed modifiers?
Solution 1:
Yes, it is included in the DPS value.
If you'll notice, the speed of this weapon is listed as 1.09 attacks per second, while the standard polearm has a speed of just 1.00.
The one thing that isn't considered is the potential 15% bonus from dual wielding.
