Action Speed?

Decided to try Deadeye, I took Gathering Winds as my first ascendancy but all I am seeing with action speed is it's affect on movement speed. My attack speed and damage stays exactly the same. Wiki says attack speed should go up.

"Action speed, sometimes known as animation speed, refers to the overall speed at which an actor (a character or monster) performs actions, such as moving, attacking, casting, placing totems, throwing traps, or using mines"

Is the Wiki wrong or am I just reading it wrong? Because it's really confusing.

Lol this is spacey, are we talking about being in two dimensions? I’m still not seeing the picture. But overall is my damage better or the same even though my tooltip stays the same?

Think of it like this:

My character plays the game in 'normal' speed.
Your character (with tailwind) plays the game in 'fast forward' speed. Even if everything else is the same between our characters, your does everything faster. Which means more attack speed, move speed, etc etc, even though the game doesnt say this on your character sheet.

The problem with looking at action speed like "playing the game faster", is that you might also start expecting things like cooldowns (and 'cooldowns' like Fist of War, or things like Mana Burn...) to be faster too.

And, unless am I missing something : they aren't ?

What makes you think your attack rate and dps is not increasing? POB is better for looking at this kind of stuff than in game tool tips that sometimes don't include everything.
