What happens if you have negative attack speed

Suppose i have a trypanon (or a gorebreaker), two warden's brands and temporal chains at max level(shackles of the wretched)

that would leave me with negative attack speed

Does exist a cap for reduced attack speed?

What would happen if the attack speed could be negative?

As a note, these methods don't give you negative attack speed. Attack speed on weapons themselves is local and is rolled into the base speed of the weapon - it's multiplicative with increases and reductions from other sources. Also, Temp Chains doesn't actually affect your attack speed stat - it affects your animation speed, which is just the speed you do anything and is a whole other stat.

That said, I'm guessing if you got to 0 attack speed or less you just wouldn't be able to attack. Not sure it's currently possible though. Can't see negative attack speed meaning anything special, negative movement speed certainly doesn't.

You'd technically be able to attack, in that you could use an attack skill. The animation would be effectively paused, though, so you'd never finish that attack. You'd be stuck in this "attacking" until the heat death of the universe, or until you were stunned or otherwise had your current action interrupted, whichever came first.

Well that's waaaaay better than I expected.

Fun fact: A couple years back, Ghudda managed to reach -110% Movement Speed with his Movement Speed Build 3. He was using Cyclone and stacked enough negative movement speed modifiers and passed by a totem with a slow aura. He was unable to move and was stuck in place. He could still attack and cast. Lightning Warp was glitched at this slow of cast speed/duration and was extremely fast as well. He warped over to the totem and default attacked it to death.

Ah, memories. Ghudda's shenanigans:

minus movement speed build

permafreeze build

buffed temp chains build

It's dead easy to do this now with the Weight of Sin jewel.

It is possible to emulate this by being 100% slowed - this is what happens when you're frozen, and has roughly the same effect on your ability to attack.

Would that mean that while frozen I could be able to "start" the skill and thus spend Mana to trigger Kitava's Thirst? Not that I can imagine that to be of any use, but still.. (lightning warp out maybe) :)
