Shaman rune Two-Handed Mastery

Hey everyone, i have noticed the tooltip on the rune says - Each time you strike an enemy with a two-handed weapon, you gain 50% attack speed with two handed weapons.
Now, i’ve learned the rune, equiped a 2H Axe and when i hit an enemy… my attack speed goes from 3.80 to 2.53 seconds, shouldn’t it go down to 1.90 if it says 50% ?
Any information on this matter is appreciated, thank you

Making it 1.9 sec down from 3.8 that would be +100% attack speed and not +50%.

+50% means 1.5x the amount of attacks in the same time so in 38 sec you make 15 attacks instead of 10.

38 ÷ 15 = 2.53 sec

What you were hoping for would be called “-50% attack time” (=+100% attack speed)
While the reality (+50% attack speed) means -33.33% weapon swing time.

3.8 - 33.33% = 2.53 sec
