How many points should I put in Tower Attack Speed for a non-patched Apprentice?

[UltimaGabe]

So, I'm playing on the PS3, which of course hasn't gotten patched. The way I understand it, the Apprentice had a bug which capped its tower attack speed and therefore stopped their towers from attacking as fast as they should.

Because of this capped attack speed, is there a limit to how many points I should put into tower attack speed, or is it something that probably won't affect me? I happened upon this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kg2JB...eature=related) and my jaw dropped when I saw how fast this apprentice's towers were shooting. Is that an accurate representation of how fast they should be shooting with those stats, or is that person playing a hacked game?

that's because of the huntress guardian, which doubles the speed of any tower it buffs.

Gotcha. So is the cap on apprentice tower attack speed something I need to worry about? Or does it only affect people with like 200+ attack speed?

Anybody? I've already noticed that my MM towers have an attack speed of 0.14 seconds (which is about 0.86 seconds less than it actually seems to be going) and the Fireball towers are something close to that. Should I respec and take a bunch of points out of Attack Rate? It's anybody's guess when the console users are going to get the patch that fixes this bug (if ever >.>) so I don't want these points to go to waste.

yea im in the same position as you... i play on xbox and on the early levels for every 5 points you put into tower casting rate you shaved .04 seconds on attack rate. now somewhere in the hundreds every 5 points you put in you shave off .01 seconds. So at least for xbox raising your damage becomes more important than raising your attack speed.

I'm playing on the PC, and I'm noticing my towers also don't attack as fast as they say they do. I tested them solo in the tavern against the training dummies, and here's what I found.

MM tower - 0.16 cast rate, fires 3/second (so either half as fast as expected, or 3/second shot cap)
Fireball tower - 0.46 cast rate, fires 2/second (about correct, or 2/second shot cap)
DS tower - 1.37 cast rate, fires 1/ 2 seconds (so cast rate * 1.5, or once per 2 second shot cap)

Just put ~35. I have an app w/ 40 points into attack rate, and my mm should be attacking 2x as fast as they do(.42 rate)
Edit: Soft cap is 1 sps
