Attack Cooldown Modifying

Once read there was an ability that could reduce a units attack cooldown by a percentage. Anyone happen to know what ability it is?

Also, pitzermikes ability guide claims there's an ability named 'Attack Speed' with the code 'AIas'. I searched high and low for it and I can't find it anywhere. does it exist?

Gloves of Haste/Speed maybe?

Yeah I know that one but I'm fairly certain it doesnt stack...

Oh, I'm rather certain it does stack. Well, the percentages add up, they don't multiply, so two abilities giving 50% bonus attack speed add a total of 100% bonus attack speed, not 125%.

Thought it subtracted seconds.

So if if I put '2.00' for the Attack Speed Bonus it's going to make it 200% faster?

5 (my units base cooldown) - (5.00 * 200/100) = new attackspeed?

Sounds right... if you want to subtract, trivially use negative values.

Nope, simpler than that.
attack cooldown / (total attack speed bonus+1.0) = new cooldown
So, if you have one ability that adds 40% (0.4) bonus attack speed and another one that adds 20% (0.2) and your unit's attack cooldown is 5 seconds, then the new cooldown will be 5.0/1.60=3.125. A 100% attack speed bonus would halve your cooldown.
