Your base attack speed is set to a static amount of 0. 625 and your attack rate no longer benefits from any source of attack speed bonuses. In return, you gain 25 bonus attack damage and convert every 1% bonus attack speed into 1 bonus attack damage .

View augment details

Avoid Zealot + Slow and Steady

Avoid this pairing because Slow and Steady sets your base attack speed to a static value and prevents your attack rate from benefiting from any attack speed bonuses. Zealot provides 35% bonus attack speed which becomes completely wasted, and the conversion to attack damage does not compensate for losing the critical strike synergy and attack speed scaling.
