Attack speed bug issue

[ToldYouSo]

Hello! I need help with understanding what could go wrong with giving AS to Alchemist HERO.

I created an abil based on standard item attack speed bonus and gave it to Alchemist via UnitAddAbility

Once Alchemist transform (uses Chemical Rage) attack speed would be removed.

So I started a timer with a little delay upon using Chemical Rage ability to give him the attack speed ability once again.

And you know what? It's giving him LESS attack speed or not giving it all, comparing to other version, where you just equip Alchemist with an item having that attack speed bonus ability.

What might be the problem? I mean, I can't clearcly remeber the issue now (even though I have given many tests), so it might actually work properly once. But in many cases you would actually see that Alchemist has less attack speed in/after chemical rage transformation.

The morphed Alchemist has a lower attack cooldown so the effect of % attack speed would be less.
2*0.15 = 0.30
1*0.15 = 0.15

When adding abilities to a unit with triggers they are removed when the unit morphs. Abilities that should stay when morphed must be made permanent for the unit. This only has to be done one time for the ability.

• Custom script: call UnitMakeAbilityPermanent(whichUnit, true/false, whichAbility)

I think I get your point, but I still dont get why Item with attack speed ability will bring much better effect to morphed Alchemist than direct ability giving to morphed Alc?

As Duck said: they have different base attack cooldowns because they are different units. A unit with a longer attack cooldown gains relatively more benefit from the same attack speed increase.

We can now modify base attack cooldown with triggers, but there are many old threads about this: Alchemist Chemical Rage Attack speed increase weird

I dont understand that either but Id like to. Do you possible have a test map with this issue? If I had to guess Id say thats not the case.
