Does attack speed affect channeled skills?

[chengsta]

too bad we can't hover over the skills and see how many ticks /attacks/dmg it does.

I believe it should be displayed, but channeled skills tick 4 times per second. And Attack Speed does not affect it. :)

i tried something and when using wirlhwind while having an attack speed curse the tick rate drop, so pretty sure that actually attack speed has an effect on tick rate on some abilities such has whirlwhind

Because the curse affects your overall speed.

Lets say, Mage's Ray of Obliteration clearly says it deals damage PER SECOND and Whirlwind's description says WW continuously deals damage while you have it channeled.

And IIRC, Ashmore already explained how WW ticks work and they are slightly different than other(s) channeled skills. Just take this with a grain of salt, I don't want people telling me I insult people spreading "false info".
