The Chosen Ones

Fradz's attack speed reduction bug is really annoying. I lost attack speed even while fighting enemies who had no attack speed debuff - fishern monsters in the southwest of the map of chapter 2.

I didn't notice this bug at all when playing on Hard but it's sure hurting me in h@rdcore difficulty. Does it perhaps only occur in Extreme or Hardc0re difficulties? This is actually my second time playing chapter 2. The first time, my attack speed got so ridiculously low that I had to check the forums to try and figure out what the problem was. So I'm trying to get through this chapter without going down from Fast to Average speed.

Does anyone know a workaround? I can't spend the rest of the campaign checking to see if my attack speed has decreased and then reload and try to figure out how it got lowered. It just ruins the whole experience.

Edit: OK, I just tested this and found that using Flash Strike or Teleport Strike against the fisherns caused my attack speed to go down to Average from Fast. This despite the fact that fisherns have no attack speed debuff.
