Good job, Nightmare14! Very handy reference, and a sticky to boot!

The thing about attack speed was interesting. It's true that the numbers seemed not to add up normally. This makes things clear

It is easy to understand when you keep in mind that what is called "% attack speed" there are in fact two completely different things.

One is the weapon's speed, which is a simple value around 0.3. For some reason it is just being displayed as a percentage in the player stats.
Everything else you find are % modifiers to this, which add and then increase that base as one would expect.

As in

Weapon speed 0.4
+20% from an attribute
+30% from a skill
--> 0.4 * (100%+20%+30%) = 0.6


That is also the reason why a wrong entry like there currently exists in the D2I Assassin's Weapon Block, or used to be in the bugged Homados - adding 10 base speed instead of 10% - instantly maxes the speed.

Thanks deffboy and essjayhem as I said in the beginning the whole idea came from another forum

@Violos ok thanks. I guess its like armor absorption where +24% armor absorption is not equal to 90% but 66+(66*.24)=81.84

[Violos]

Yes, same thing.
Many things have a value and an valuemodifier, the latter of which appears on equipment and skills.
Though quite a few things like OA/DA, player stats and damage modifiers appear in both forms.

Resistances are usually flat numbers (even though they are called % due to their effect) but can be reduced by a percentage.

The important thing is that everything can be either of those, and have misleading names. But once you are aware of that it is usually easy to find out.

You can add:

- The Slow cast bug fix (by The Lord of Space): a must, I can't play Immortal Throne without it anymore (Fanpatch 1.17 then Slow cast bug fix):

I'm sure many of you have run into this bug before, where your character seemingly randomly will perform the casting animation incredibly slowly. Perhaps many of you have died several times because of it (I know I have.)
...
The game is able to update your speeds in the middle of animations whenever your speeds change (run/attack/cast), it does this when your stats change (coming into or leaving out of aura effects for example.) Oddly enough, this code has a case for run and attack animations but none for casting. Apparently while casting it erroneously falls through to the attack condition (the game appears to be unable to discern between them with its current condition checks) in this code, causing your in progress cast animation to be scaled according to your attack speed which is on a different scale and hence slows it down greatly. I made a quick fix to ignore the attack animation speed update condition so that casting won't be screwed up any more.

EDIT: The Slow cast bug fix is also integrated with SoulSeekkor's Defiler (thanks to fathersquid for the info).

Just nitpicking:

- 'Gameplay/Spoilers' section: the Artifact threads should be one above the other, otherwise the reader may miss the second guide!,

- 'Skills and Stratergies': it's Strategies! (not Stratergies),

- 'Killer Blues': Violos meant this:

You might want to mention that this is integrated with Defiler.
