Attack Speed Bonus for Alchemers

It seems that attack speed bonuses on Alchemers are kind of useless in their current state. As seen here you can definitely attack faster, but with only 2 shots you're still hampered by the "reload," which does not benefit from the speed boost. It's still faster to shoot in timed sequence to avoid having to reload, the time between shots to do this appears to be unchanged by the speed boost, too.
It would be nice too see the speed boost apply to all aspects of using the weapon.
Also, wow, what a difference in speed only a quarter bar makes in the power meter.
(Yes that is a Magma Driver vs. a Firotech, they have the same attack speed though the whole line.)

have you tried shooting 1
have you tried shooting 1 bullet, waiting for the gun to pull up then shooting again. i do that a lot and never have to see the reload animation. dont know if the speed bonus will help it tho.

Tired that, as far as I can
Tired that, as far as I can tell the speed bonus does not apply to staggered shooting. If it does, the Ultra speed boost is imperceptible to me with alchemers.
Agreed, I found the lack of reload speed upgrading quite disappointing.
