A question on 'Rounding'

This is mainly a question about attack rate.

Example:

-0.25 interval between hits

Has a normal APS of 2.22
& a demon spark APS of 2.86

At the same time

-0.20 interval between hits

Has a normal APS of 2.00
& a demon spark APS of 2.86

---

What I have been told is that this is due to something called "rounding". It took an additional -0.1 interval from 0.20 to 0.30 to have an affect on demon spark, making it 3.33 attacks per second.

What I'm wondering is... what the normal APS and the demon spark APS from -0.35 interval between hits would be.

Thank you.

    -3.5 interval (tome -0.05 + cape -0.05 + claws -0.1 + sleeves -0.1 + (2) set bonus -0.05)

    Normal APS : 2.86
    Demon spark APS : 3.85

    There is no 3.85, you'd have 4 APS.

    It's because the % in attackspeed increase works on the interval, not the attacks/second. So if you got 3.33 attacks per second thats 0.3 interval.
    25% increase in attackspeed means: interval=0.3*0.75=0.225. That gets rounded down to 0.2 interval between hits -> 5 attacks/second. I see no rounding fail in there whatsoever.

    can't seem do delete that message. anyway. if you had 2.86 aps base, -.35 interval. That would work out demon sparked to .35(.75) = .2625 interval. Then wouldn't that round to -.3 interval, which would be 3.33 aps?

    0.2625 is closer to 0.25 as it is to 0.3 therefore you would have 4 aps not 3.33.
